Bobby,I agree, the Cardas Clear speaker cables and interconnects took my rig to new levels of resolution. They are indeed all that you describe as well as being completely fatigue free. My LA 300 ME/VZN 100/MXe set up has never sounded this good.T...

Pedrillo,You'll be moving to MXe, the lead free wonder from Bobby@Merlin. My advice, have some Depends adult diapers handy as you may crap your pants when you hear the MXe carefully set up :-)Jim
