Did anyone hear the Cardas "Clear Beyond"...

"our expectation is that the Clear is in another league."

In my opinion, you just invalidated the need for an audition.
You've already set the expectation. That's what you will hear.

In my system, Cardas Cables - any of them including the Ayre variant are the very worst cables I've tried. I've tried Nodost, Wireworld, Purist, Audioquest, Kimber, etc....all top of the lines.

I bought the cardas beyond what a GREAT speaker cable

I own them too. While the price is offensive, they are fabulous cables.
