AudioQuest vs Cardas XLR
Illustrates once again why any counterfeit is plain thievery. Steals from the unknowing buyer, and from the pocket and reputation of the legitimate manufacturer.

Dedicated Line - Things to consider

Enjoy it.

Personally, I'd buy the newer version, if nothing else, it's newer. I don't know what your situation is, money-wise, nor the cost of either. I'd opt for a 4 year old amp over a 10 year old one. Either amp will drive those speakers, I think there's...
