Your experience with Cardas SE9 as speaker cable?

I'm about to try some Supra Classic 6 wire (9 AWG) with my Merlin MMIs and I'll report back shortly. Currently using Acoustic Zen Hologram II.

When I got my current audio system I was strongly advised toward Cardas which I got. I discovered however, that Cardas - and I tried most of their permutations though not the SE9 was absolutely awful in MY system. You must listen for yourself for your own pleasure. All cables react differently in different systems.

Stringreen, I wouldn't be asking if I didn't already know that the Cardas line is well mated to my gear.

Latest impressions on the se-9 and/or supra classic 6?

I have Merlin TSM-MMs and initially tried audience au24 cables - they were just OK in my system. Their interconnects, power conditioners, and power cables are awesome in my system, but the au24's didn't make my speakers sing.

After talking to Merlin's Bobby P, I took his advice and bought a pair of SE9's. Now this was nice - much better match than the au24's in my system! Highly recommended with TSMs. FYI, there is a nice pair for sale on Agon - probably the second pair I have seen in the past 12 to 15 months).

Good luck,
Dave
