Comparison of Cardas Clear & Beyond Speaker Cable to Shunyata Sigma or Alpha Cable

OP--I haven't compared Shunyata Sigma or Alpha speaker cables to Cardas Clear or Clear Beyond speaker cables. Sorry, I'm no help there--

Im going to bump this old thread because im currently trying a full loom of cardas clear reflection and debating on weather to try clear beyond or shunyata delta v2/ alpha v2/ sigma v2 next. I would like a little more openness but overall am enjoying the clear reflection on loan from the cable co.

I own several Shunyata delta v2 NR and I compared against Cardas clear beyond xl. The Cardas was more musical, more pleasant, and had less noise. I heard the differences immediately. Separately I demoed the alpha v2 NR. I had to do multiple A/B comparisons against the delta to even hear a difference. Usually I couldn’t hear a difference but when I did the alpha was ever so slightly better. To me the Cardas was clearly better and I plan to switch. 

Have you tried any of the other cardas / shunyada cables ? Interconnects, speaker cables , digital cables ?

I received my brand new Clear Beyond IC and SC.

I'm only 24 hours into the break in period and i can tell you guys the bass is mind blowing with much more air, density and resolution.

I come from Gryphon VIP series IC and SC, Clear Beyond is way above no contest.

I recommend purchasing both the IC and the SC and not one or the other, it makes a huge difference.
