Anyone auditioned the Cardas Clear? I have....


I have auditioned the Cardas Clear, comparing it against the Golden Cross, and Golden Reference, the Audience, and a few others. To those who have auditioned it, what are your opinions of the Clear?

....thank you Jallen ...but how did you come up with the two different %'s....what was that based off of ????
He is making a guess. Impossible to know every nuance of any system. It was clear to me:)
Just added a pair of Cardas Clear XLR Interconnects between my Rowland Synergy IIi and MBL 1511E DAC. Its been 48 hours since I've put them in and initial impression is that I'm really surprised by the weight in the bass. I also have the impression that the resolution compared to the Synergistic Research Acoustic Reference was better. At this stage I cannot say I'm too pleased with the bass but to be fair the cable need more hours to settle down.
My findings differ from Jallen's.The Clear IMO betters the GR by a substantial margin.
In comparison to the Golden Reference the Clear IC has ditched the closed-in top end and sluggeshness in favor speed and extension.
Soundstaging was also bettered in the already good in that regard GR. Harmonics improved, the GR sounding drier. Bass at first sounds grossly exaggerated, but after lengthy burn-in settles down.
Have a hunch that the combination of Clear IC with Golden Ref. SC could prove to be synergistic.
I just upgraded my cables to Clear XLR, Clear Speaker cable and Clear Bi-Wire jumpers.. all I can say is wow.. best I've ever heard. I also think that Clear is the kind of cable that one can build a system around knowing that cable isn't the limiting factor, in fact I found the Clear to be very invisible it has the least sonic signature of anything I've tried or used ( XLO Signature, AQ, WireWorld Platinum Eclipse, Synergistic, Kimber Select, Transparent, and others) It certainly doesn't sound like the G. Reference or any other Cardas If I was to try and pigeon hole it I'd say it's a lot like Nosdost Valhalla, but with more body, but even that isn't quite right..
