Cardas Golden Cross XLR Interconnects 1.5 m pair

Condition: Mint (8.5/10)

Reason for Sale:

Upgraded to the flagship Cardas Clear Beyond. The Golden Cross is probably one of my favourite interconnects of all time and is the most famous of Cardas' classic cables. I preferred it to the Golden Reference on solid state electronics - it made my Krell power amp sound like a high powered tube amp. A harmonically rich and romantic sounding cable with good treble and bass extension at the same time. It gives lean and cold sounding solid state electronics a warm, full bodied dimensionality and musical flow without sacrificing PRAT and slam. Above all, it has that magical Cardas midrange. In this respect, it bests even the Clear Beyond.

No longer in production & rarely available, there isn't another cable quite like it.

Price: SOLD

Reviews:

Soundstage.com

"The Golden Cross was a warmer-sounding cable than either the Kimber or Nordost. This contributed to a richness in the midrange that was pleasing. Male and female vocals were palpable and thus excellent"

"Instruments and vocals seemed harmonically complete, creating a liquid-sounding presentation that's far removed from threadbare and sterile."

"The upper registers were high-end-ready in all respects. Right-hand runs on the piano always replayed in a fine progression as the fingers moved further up the scale. Cymbals were unfettered by any sense of veiling, and the warmth mentioned earlier had no deleterious effect on the mid to uppermost highs. "Smooth," "unetched" (to the extent that upstream components would allow), and "clear" are all appropriate words to associate with the treble performance of the Cardas Golden Cross cables."

Hifi Advice

"The sound is royal, fluid, well-defined and refined."

"Relaxed and seductive, Golden Cross is a cable that encourages listening for hours at end. Fuller and warmer in the bass and mids than Golden Ref, also more creamy in the treble"
