cardas hexlink golden 5c speaker cable

I used to own Hex Golden 5C speaker cables in a bi-wire run. They are, as Artmaltman remembers.. very warm and frankly not very revealing of finer detail.
I sold them for Highwire's, which were far more revealing and were overall a lot more involving. I still own a pair of Hex Golden 5c IC's. which are much better IMHO than the speaker cables. The Ic's are very good in the bass dept. But ,still a little slow and dark compared with today's better cables.
Today I think that there are many cables that are better than the Hex Golden 5C speaker cables, one that I particularly like are the Nordost's.

i sold my nordost blue heaven
the cardas would be warm slow and less revealing as compared to the nordost cable

Yes, my memory is that Hexlink is much warmer and less transparent than either the Golden Cross series or the Golden Reference series. Again, I'm basing this on memory and different equipment, but it was quite a strong impression at the time.

Putting it another way, I owned Golden Cross a long time and was very happy with it. Have owned others along the way (e.g. Audience AU24 regular and E). Currently using Golden Reference for the 2nd or 3rd time and like it a lot.

Byt I was never able to get Hexlink to have sufficient detail for my taste even back when it was a current model.

It MAY be that a lot of other people have had different experiences. This is just my own experience. It is a strong memory though.

i sold the golden cross ic as it was too warm in my system
may be system dependent and a matter of taste
2 friends of mine prefer hexlink golden 5c to golden
reference as the latter is too colored?????

i switch the ics and the power cords
it seems that the music is now a bit warmer and relaxed
