Selling my legacy Cardas cables looking to move into the Clear family.
For years, I preferred Golden Presence to Reference. Presence arguably better Golden Reference for rock and electronic music, and for conveying the emotional content of a recording. In other words, these are the more musical cables from Cardas’ old Reference line. I found them more open with bigger soundstaging. Presence have a little more bloom than the new Clear line, which many listeners will prefer, especially with solid-state electronics. These were a happy medium, providing the increase resolution of the Reference line over the Cross line with less tendency to sound bright or overly full, as Neutral Ref and Golden Ref could being much more demanding of setup. If your domestic situation means some concessions to speaker placement, such as closer to the wall, these will provide more resolution than Cross and Golden Cross, less warm and full than Golden Cross. They are hard to make sound actively bad, unlike Golden Ref and Neutral Ref. They were also the last cable made in the old Reference line, and some of the design features, such as concentric geometry in the speaker cable, as well as their great openness and sense of neutrality, carried over into the Clear line. So named because they have the ability, or the sense, of putting you in the presence of the recorded event, Given their overall neutrality, I’ve found they pair will both with power cords like Golden Reference as well as anything from the Clear power lineup. There is a good thread on the forum here discussing these cables and their soundstaging prowess, as well as a review at Stereo Times and Audiodrom.
Cardas warrants the cable, not the owner, so no concerns with buying used. These have the Certificate of Authenticity. Multiple pair available:
0.5 Meter RCA - 3 pair. List $600. Ask $300.
1.0 Meter RCA - 1 pair. List $840. Ask $420.
1.25 Meter RCA Phono (with integral ground cable) List $524. Ask $262.
3.0 Meter RCA - 1 pair. List $1,800. Ask $800.
2.5 Meter Speaker - 1 pair - single wire bananas on both ends
At checkout, I will add 3% for Paypal. I will also ask whether you want shipping insurance, which the A’gon system does not factor in.
