Moving up from Cardas Clear
I think Kubala Sosna Emotion would be a great choice 
mit magnum z III
How does the MIT sound, compared to other cables like Cardas Golden Reference, Kubala Sosna Emotion, Purist Aqueos 20th Anniversary?In my system I have opposite results on the digital source and on integrated amp:- on the Accuphase DP700 the Kubal... 
K-S Emotion or PAD Acqueos 20th Anniv. power cord
Sorry, "weight" (I can't find an "edit" feature in this forum) ! 
K-S Emotion or PAD Acqueos 20th Anniv. power cord
In another topic I found this opinion:"02-22-09: Jmcgrogan2It sounds to me that you are looking at a K-S Emotion or a PAD Aqueous Anniversary or Dominus cord. Both of these are laid back and relaxed. IMHO the Emotion sounds a tad more 'natural' ha... 
KubalaSosna Emotion or Furutech Powerflux?
I tried in demo the KS Emotion xlr interconnects.Without any doubt is better than my Cardas Golden Reference xlr, but it us not as warm as mine.My system ("one brand" , Luxman source/integrated + Cardas Golden Reference power cords/interconnects/s... 
KubalaSosna Emotion or Furutech Powerflux?
Torrow I will compare my Cardas Golden Reference with the K-S Emotion interconnects, both XLR.I would be happy if the KS would be smoother (but not veiled) on the top and with more bass depht and definition, at least with the bass energy of the Ca... 
Integrated amp with HT bypass & phono stage
I had the Denon PMA 2000ae (replaced by the 2010), it had the ht bypass, I don't remember if it had phono stage.All Luxman integrated (the class AB 505u, 507u and my actual 509u, the class A 550AX and 590AX, the tube amp SQ38u) have the home theat... 
Luxman vs. Accuphase
I have the top of the range integrated Luxman 509u, class AB, 120W (but they seem much more) and I'm very happy, I think it will be my last amp.Luxman class AB integrated are more neutral, dynamic, with great driving capabilities, they have a grea... 
Personal amp evolution
I had the Denon PMA 2000 AE (great entry level integrated, I used it with the same B&W 803D I have today and they sounded good!), now I have the Luxman 509u and I don't find any reason to change it! 
Upgrade to Macintosh MA7000 or Luxman L507u?
Why not consider the top of the range Luxman L-509u?The 509u is of the same class of the MA7000 and is in a similar price, not the L-507u which is a mid-range integrated, more comparable to the McIntosh 6500, not to the 7000.I own the 509u, has a ...

Power cord feeding a power conditioner/regenerator
I will receive soon (within the next week) a 2,5 meters Cardas Golden Reference power cord with 20A IEC (there is this option on Cardas list).I will make you know whow it works in comparison to the Purepower 3000 stock power cord (I expect to hear... 
Different Cardas cables for bass and mid-highs ?
Many thanx to all.I read that Whathmough for its biwired speaker cables uses 4.5 square conductors for bass and 1.75 square conductors for mid-highs (http://whatmough.com/cables-whatmough.htm), in the belief that they have very different needs.As ... 
Different Cardas cables for bass and mid-highs ?
This comforts me, I'm not the only one! In my post I forgot to say that, in the Cardas Golden Reference biwired, the 4-conductors I mentioned are dedicated to mid-high range, while the remaining 8 feed the bass. I could then use the entire Golden ... 
Biwire B&W 803D with different Cardas Cables ?
I tried to link the B&W 803D with two pairs of Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables. The result was an excess of mid-high frequencies: I believe that a Cardas Golden Reference is perfect for driving the three woofers of the B&W 803D, but...
