If Cardas Clear Beyond and Shunyata Sigma V2 speaker cables had a child ....it would be ?


Hello Audiogoners - and yes this is an inconceivable question ( pun intended ) but stay with me please for a moment and let me know your thoughts. I currently own the Cardas Clear Beyond speaker cables and have really have enjoyed them the past few years. They are wonderfully musical and neutral for the most part but they have that Cardas magic in their DNA. Then enter the Shunyata SigmaV2 pedigree which brings a sense of immediacy to your system but also with some speed, clarity and dynamics. I own the Cardas and have listened to the Shunyata's, but what struck me is that they both have characteristics that are particular and somewhat exclusive to those cables that I really like. However, as I got to think which is NOT good in this hobby, what speaker cables capture the best musical attributes of both of these wonderful cables ?  The beauty and musicality of the Cardas but also has the clarity, immediacy and speed of the Shunyata's ? Let me know what you think and thank you in advance.

That would be the Carnyata Bigma or the Shundas Sigmond.  Sorry.  I’ve always found Acoustic Zen cables to have a very nice blend of detail and musicality — natural and organic is how I’d describe it — with excellent 3D sound staging.  Why not give these Holograms a shot just for reference if nothing else, and if they don’t yield improvements just sell them for little/no loss.  So easy to buy/sell used cables, so what the hell?  Go play!
