Alternate interconnect to Cardas Neutral Reference

i would suggest xlo signature series, they are very transparent an throw a hugh soundstage with dynamics galore.

another cable is the straightwire crescendo. similiar to the xlo but a little bit more fuller sound.

i tried the cardas nuetral ic and found it added sibilence in my system ( the only time i have ever heard it). i think the speaker cable may be better than the ic in this case.

hope that helps,

yes, cables make a hugh difference...treat them like a component. they can easily make or break a system...especially interconnects.

i would sugeest trying to audition as many combination of cables you can get your hands on..

imo, most cables do a fairly good job at the $350 -$400 retail price point ( they will image okay and have a one outstanding characteristic).

when you get in the $650 - $800 retail price range, that is when you get it all...good extensions at both ends, hugh imaging, dynamics galore, coherency....well rounded players with no weakness.

i would suggest buying used since there is hugh markup and quick depreciation on new. there are some manufacters that sell direct at a fair price like discovery.

hope this helps,
