Dont understand why Khrys found the Cardas GR less optimal. I have been using the same cables (from DA to Power to speakers - CD to DA uses Neutral Ref as there's no GR Digi cables) from WP6, to WP7 (not 8 as yet cuz pondering on Maxx 2) with McIntosh gears (MCD/MDA1k+MC1201's) and found them to be extremely musical and revealing.
Wilsons with Cardas or JPS?
I have Watt puppy 7s and just read in HiFi Plus that, in addition to Transparent, Cardas are a synergistic match. Anyone have experience with Cardas Golden Reference and Wilsons? The rap is that they are not particularly transparent. Does that problem (if it is) not apply when matched with Watt Puppys?
A cable that seems to have alot of fans as a window to the source without edge is JPS, esp. Aluminata. Anyone tried them with Wilsons? I have heard a number of cables and have heard v good results with Transparent, for example. What I don't like is an edgeiness that can come certain cables with a rep for transparency when paired with the Watts and a revealing CD Player (I have the Bel Canto PL 1). For example, to my ears Nordost cabling, when used from phono thru to Watts are great, but lose flow and become edgy when used from CD to Watts. I have heard this problem regardless of amplification which has included Spectral, Naim and McIntosh tubes--so take that out of the equation. With this as background, anyone have thoughts?
