Comparison of Cardas Clear & Beyond Speaker Cable to Shunyata Sigma or Alpha Cable

Hello Guido:

The original thread which I set up was  in regard to a comparison of sonic differences between Shunyata Alpha or Sigma speaker cables to Cardas Clear  Beyond speaker cables. Not power cables, however that is of interest as well.

OP--I haven't compared Shunyata Sigma or Alpha speaker cables to Cardas Clear or Clear Beyond speaker cables. Sorry, I'm no help there--

Im going to bump this old thread because im currently trying a full loom of cardas clear reflection and debating on weather to try clear beyond or shunyata delta v2/ alpha v2/ sigma v2 next. I would like a little more openness but overall am enjoying the clear reflection on loan from the cable co.

I own several Shunyata delta v2 NR and I compared against Cardas clear beyond xl. The Cardas was more musical, more pleasant, and had less noise. I heard the differences immediately. Separately I demoed the alpha v2 NR. I had to do multiple A/B comparisons against the delta to even hear a difference. Usually I couldn’t hear a difference but when I did the alpha was ever so slightly better. To me the Cardas was clearly better and I plan to switch. 

Have you tried any of the other cardas / shunyada cables ? Interconnects, speaker cables , digital cables ?
