Cardas Audio Golden Presence Speaker Cables with Cold-Forged Spades (used only in Cardas Clear)

OVERVIEW

For sale is one pair of Cardas Golden Presence Speaker Cables (2.0M), that were upgraded with Cold-Forged Spades by Cardas. Cardas Certificate and bag included.

These Cold-Forged Spades are the best speaker cable connection method used in the industry, as the extreme high pressure causes the connector metals to become one with the cable wires, so there is no longer an interface between the speaker cable and the connector.

This technique was introduced on Cardas Clear speaker cables and costs $300 per speaker cable or $600 per pair. FYI, I preferred the Golden Presence with these Cold-Forged Spades over the Golden Reference with their traditional spade connection, but I recently upgraded to Clear.

I also have a single Cardas Golden Presence Speaker Cable (1.5M) that was also upgraded with Cold-Forged Spades by Cardas. This single cable is not included in the asking price for the pair in this ad.

Retail Price for single 1.5M Golden Presence speaker cable with upgraded Cold-forged Spades: $750, Asking: $475

FROM CARDAS AUDIO

Golden Presence Interconnect is a somewhat simplified version of Golden Reference and fits between our Golden and Neutral Reference cables in the product line. It has less shielding, but uses the same conductors and dielectrics. It is non directional like the other Reference cables. In terms of sonics, it maintains the neutrality of Neutral Reference, but has the added resolution of Golden Reference, without being as critical of a less than perfect listening room or recording.

REVIEWS

" ... based on my experience with these cables, I went ahead and purchased the full set of cables and continued to enjoy them in my system."
- Stereo Times

"The Golden Presence Interconnect from Cardas is a true reference-level cable. Designed using George Cardas's patented Golden Section Stranding, this cable is at home in the most exotic systems. Dead quiet backgrounds, pure neutrality and a real sense of live recorded events are all hallmarks of this cable design.

Looking for a cable to "fix" some of the problems in your system? Looking for added bass bloom or a smoothed over top-end? Well look elsewhere! This cable is nothing if not true to the source. So if you want to hear your music reproduced faithfully, this cable will give it to you.

Be warned: you will find this cable so natural and pleasing to the ear, that you will want to replace every cable in your system!"
