Cardas vs. Harmonic Technology

..replaced speaker cables for two systems...

I have Maggie 3.7s with HT pro 2009 se speaker cables. I use audience au24, HT magic link 2 and Cardas GR interconnects. The HT are better than Cardas GR in my system. More balanced top to bottom. I think GR is over-rated a bit albeit a great cable. My dealer has access to megabuck cables and apart from Tara labs zero and top of line synergistic research he says HT is a close second/third. I agree. It is more extended and detailed than the Cardas GR. good news is the Cardas GR and HT cables play well together. Not knocking GR just think HT is better.

I can't comment on the Cardas, however I had the HT pro 9+ and they were easily bettered by my current Crimson Musiclink.

Can't say I've compared them so this reply may be worthless but I've been using both H/T I/C's and spkr cables for over 10 years and tried various other I/C's now and then but I've always been pleased with both the Pro-9 and pro-11 spkr cables...they both have always appreciated the improvments in I/C's as I moved up through the pro-silway line until my current "all Majic 2" cables... I simply find H/T a tremendous over-achiever for the money with a wonderfully musical overall balance... Good luck..

Agree with Lissnr. I have had audiophile friends over who have 100k systems and left buying the pro 9 speaker cable.
