Cardas Cables

After having an amazing experience with a Cardas headphone cable for my Focal Utopia headphones, I am really getting an itch to replace my existing speaker cables (XLO UltraPlus) with Cardas cable.

Anyone familiar with Cardas speaker cables?

Based on current lineup, I really like the "Clear" version, but I cannot afford it, so looking for used.

I see several used cables for sale from Cardas, but they all appear to be previous models. And I have no clue which ones are the equivalent with current "Clear".

I see Neutral Reference, Cross, Golden Cross, etc.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks @lowrider57 

To be clear, it’s Revel Speakers. Not Focal

Right. Sorry, I meant Revel. And i updated my post to suggest the Clear line for transparency and dynamics.

I would be very leery of finding used Cardas current lineup. Too many fake cables around. Need to have the serial number card at minimum. I would want the sales receipt !! or proof of buying from a authorized dealer.PS all the new Cardas lines are very different in sound from the old Cardas lines.

Thanks @elizabeth  for chiming in.

Duly noted. I have been warned the same on the fake legacy Cardas cables.

From what I read, from current line, Cardas Clear Reflection should be similar with Golden Reference Line.

So, I have so far narrowed it down to:

1 - Golden Reference (used with certificate)
2 - Clear Reflection (brand new)
3 - Golden Presence (cheaper version of Golden Reference, right below it)
