cardas to me is a frustrating brand... pricey to very pricey, yet so many of their cables are so opaque and overly smoothed/smeared in sound to my ears (compared to significantly lesser priced competitors)
their higher stuff like their reference/golden reference series are more transparent, yet to me, they fail to outperform much more reasonably priced brands like audioquest wireworld zu and straightwire
of course the quality of their cables is excellent, have an expensive feel to them, but at the end of the day, it is about how they sound
i have no affiliation to any brands i have mentioned... i do own the ayre px5e and kx5e mp
