Sell your cardas golden reference IC and replace it with the Cardas Golden Cross.
George Cardas himself will tell you his reference cable is ONLY meant to be used in set ups that are 'perfect' - i.e., no quetions about room, speakers, platforms, tubes, sources - and that his 'real world' cable is the golden cross. You would actually save $$ going in this direction, and back when i had cardas cables, i found this to be exactly true!
One set of cables sold, another purchased, and an extra $100 in your pocket later, and you will be one (maybe large) step closer to your goal!
