hi Dazzdax,reading your post gave me a little to share to all members that are posting here,first i respect your opinion,im going to give mine,me and few friends are kind of audiophiles that listen music 6 +++ hours daily,our system are most of the time on since we do a lot of testing,at this moment we are using Jena Labs cables,we have a almost $1500 cable plug in and replaced recently for Jena $4200 cable and i have to tell theres a big difference in sound more than 15% it is like changing some gear in the system,the whole sound change and when i bought this $4200 cable my friend upgraded to the Jena $9000 cable and i listen to his system and i have to tell that it is another level of music and again it is like changing another gear,cables make a huge difference in sound in Jena case this is true and since we try another cables,we know that companies like Cardas and others,there cables stairs in price are for a reason and for a reason only to better our listening and to tune your ears with the most expectacular sound,we are planing to buy a set of the Clear IC and the Clear or Clear Beyond speaker cable,as soon we test them,full break in,we are going to Post what we heard since we already know how the Cardas Golden Reference sounds one of our favorites cables and our expectation is that the Clear is in another league.
