@retiredaudioguy - Ok then, I just learned something. To my recollection, Cross was blue, Golden Cross was a reddish color with grey shrink (later black), and Golden Reference was black with grey shrink (later black). The ad picture appears to display the reddish color, at least to my eyes. I didn't realize that GR was ever that color.
If they are in fact Golden Reference, then you should change your ad text since the title says Golden Reference but the text says "A pair of the classic Cardas Golden Cross interconnect.".
BTW, I couldn't get the image link you posted to open up.
