Since my original slightly impertinent post, I actually heard the Clear ICs and Clear Beyond SCs connecting a VTL 7.5 to Siegfrieds pushing X2s.
The cables were "clearly" in the same league as the fine components to which they were connected but represent a significant departure from the Cardas house sound. That pleased my ears but I'm sure others will prefer the midbass richness and upper midrange presence of Cardas GR or Cardas GC.
I had long given up on Cardas , my first cable love, but reconciliation may be at hand.
