Would a legacy Cardas cable like their "Neutral Reference" work? Haven't heard the Cardas Clear Reflection or the Neutral Reference myself so can't say how similar their "sound" is. BUT from a price point of view, Parts Connexion has 2.5 meter runs of Neutral Reference at a heavily discounted price. You might consider contacting Cardas for their opinion about how the two types compare.
Speaker cables similar to Cardas Clear Reflection, but cheaper?
Happy New Year!
I have recently upgraded my phono cable and interconnect cable to the Cardas Clear phono and Cardas Clear Reflection interconnect. I've been very impressed by both, and I'm looking to upgrade my speaker cables next. However, the Cardas Clear Reflection is about $2800 for an 8ft. pair. I'd like to spend about half that, if possible. Do any of you have recommendations for something with a similar sonic signature? My first thought was the Acoustic Zen Satori or Hologram II, as I've heard them both and like them.
Thanks!Scott
p.s. Obviously I'll keep my eye out for used Clear Reflections, but it's hard to find the right length and connectors in good condition at the right price.

I think I just enjoy spending other people's money, Scott. :-) Anyway, usedcable.com has Acoustic Zen Hologram II and Satori in the lengths you need. 8 feet, spade-terminated Hologram II is $795.00 http://www.usedcable.com/Catalog/Speaker-Cables |
If you are open minded please try this. Go to Parts Connextion and purchase the new Duelund 16 gauge tinned and stranded copper wire in cotton. $10 meter. Do not terminate and hook up the bare wire for best sound. 10 meters will work. $100. Twist every 1.5 inches or so. If you do this you will smile big. |
