Upgrade from Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables

I have been using Golden Cross now for about 7-8 years and have actually been looking at switching to Golden Reference. I am holding off on buying as I am looking at the possibility of mono blocks and that would allow me to buy shorter cables. I see NR a lot on Cable Co. and have wondered why they are getting traded in and what they are being replaced with. Seems like the few responses here seem positive, so I ask the OP why are you wanting to move on?

decooney, I am in a transitional period here before I will make a change. But it is good to hear others experience with different Cardas products. I really plan to stay with Cardas as the cables and company both have served me very well. I am switching from a ARC Ref5se to an Ayre KX5twenty (not arrived yet) as I wanted to go back to solid state. And I just ordered new Sonus Faber Olympica Nova III's that I don't expect for a few weeks at least. So once these all get broken in, I will be making a decision and start looking for a set of Golden Ref's 

audiojan, I have only added the Clear line as power cords and use both the Clear and Clear beyond. I have been wanting to try a set of IC's and will someday. I think the best place to try them is between the Pre and Amp, but want to hear what I get with the new Pre and Speakers first.
