Cardas GoldenCross vs. NBS Statement or Monitor 0?

i am quite familiar with your system components. i also have eidolons, which i drive with a modified jeff rowland 8ti through a boulder 1012 pre/dac. recently, i've been comparing in my audio dealer's main listening room, various amps on eidolons and the new eidolon diamonds. my experience is that the diamonds love the boulder 1060 but the eidolons sound a touch too sterile with that amp. the best amp i've heard driving eidolons, besides my own, is the accuphase a-50v. a pair is even better. as to cables, i've found tara, "the one" to be superior in my setup to anything else i've tried, which included fim silver and gold, cardas neutral reference and golden cross and nbs monitor 1. if the cardas you now use doesn't give you a "rich" or "warm" sound, i doubt very much the nbs will. BTW, you have a very nice system. -cfb
