Tracking with the previous post, George Cardas reportedly stated that the Iridium was the best price for performance offering within the lineup. This information was in an old forum post from a user who had a telephone conversation with him - for what it’s worth.
That said, I dabbled between the Iridium, Parsec, and BJC Canare speaker cables. With all the variables at play within one’s system, I found the Canare to be the greatest value but was more neutral on top than the Iridium. The Parsec and Iridium were naturally similar in traits with Parsec being slightly more transparent. Iridium was warmer, but it didn’t roll the upper frequencies - it helped tame sibilance to an all-in-one DAC/streamer/preamp.
I love the flexibility of Cardas speaker wire. I love the BJC ultra sonic welding and locking banana plugs for the Canare. Customer service from BJC and Cardas is exceptional.
I haven’t experienced Pangea speaker cables, but I have experienced their PCs and ethernet cables - good quality, okay SQ. Because of these prior experiences, I’d probably lean towards the Canare with long burn-in time or the Iridium for speaker cables.
YMMV is the motto, especially with all the unique variables at play between audio systems.
