Ivan, I have been a user of Cardas cables in some systems for several years.
I concur with George, they tend to be on the warmer/fuller body side.
In the past the Golden Reference line would typically be associated with digital front end when it sounded a little too forward.
The current Clear and Clear Beyond lines are a bit more resolving, still retaining some of the old midrange emphasis.
I would recommend them for components or systems that need a little cooling down from over-resolution (if that applies for some likings). Probably not ideal for the more relaxed systems. All about system balancing as usual.
George, I'm also using a Cardas Clear power cord with my streamer and been thinking of upgrading to Clear Beyond, which I understand is a nice step forward from the Clear.
On the other hand I have recently replaced a Cardas Clear USB cable with a Kimber Kable KS 2426 (hybrid Cu/Ag), what an improvement in all aspects, but at several times the price so not such a fair comparaison.
