[@xcool] Hey @ghdprentice I remember running the cables 24 hrs straight for 4 or 5 days from my source to my preamp. The preamp was off when I wasn’t listening.
I did like a few things about the cable between my source and preamp. Very spacious and details. I did wish I can hear a little more bass, and a bit warmer. From what I understand, the Clear Reflection is supposed to have the warmth of the typical Cardas cable with extra details from their Clear line up.
Curious about your experience with Cardas. Thanks!
@xcool > Believe it or not - most of the versions of Cardas interconnects i’ve owned or demoed in the past 30yrs sounded different, yet one factor typically remained fairly constant (Including all former Golden series and the newer hybrid Clear Reflections i tried as well). Resting in place, connected, and not touching them for at least 14+ days; Playing or not... Relaxing the tension of the dielectric inside (used or new IC cables) after being coiled up in a bag or box, matters too. It smooths out a little bit more over time. Only way to know is to try it first hand and validate it yourself. Best of luck.
