I've switched most of my system over from Cardas Golden Reference (which is excellent) to NBS Monitor 0. The NBS and Cardas tonal palette is very similar, on the warm, rich side, but the Monitor 0 has amazing fullness in the lower midrange-midbass without seeming to lose any transparency in the upper midrange. Highs are clear but maybe not as extended as other lines. These cables go beautifully with very revealing speakers (Eggleston Andras) and electronics (Pass phono amp and line preamp, Classe CAM-350 amps), but I'd be careful of them with tube amps and warmer speakers (e.g. Kharma).
