Preserve Golden Referance sound add Netrual Ref ?


My cd player is connected to the preamp with 1 meter Cardas Golden Referance.
There is app 8 meters of Taralabs Decade cabling from the pre to power amps.
I am trying to find out if by using 8 meters Netural Referance from pre to pwr amps if the sound will remain the same, since Cardas claim that NR is netural (my understand is, fails to add or subtract, in other words no sonic change can be heard). 8 meters NR is half less than GR.
Any knowledge of this is extremely thankful.

Tplavas - you are correct, but only because Terry mis-stated what Cardas says about their Neutral Reference. Neutral Reference has the same sonic characteristics at 30 feet that it does at 3 feet. If you like the sound of the system with the 3 footers in it, the system will sound the same if you substituted 30 feet (of the Neutral Reference).
Now back to Terry - what brand/model components are you connecting with this long run? Is it single ended or balanced? Let me know and I will try and help.

Tplavas - you say "that's a fact" without ever stating a fact (you MUST be a republican!). You stated "some electricial differences inherant in" the different lengths. Sorry - but what has that got to do with the difference (or non-difference) in sound?? I bet the longer cable weighs more than the shorter one - but that has nothing to do with comparitive sound either. What WOULD be acceptable as a fact is IF you had ever taken the time to try a 1M and a 10 M pair of these Cardas Neutral Ref interconnects in the same system and then made a statement about the comparitive sound of the two diffeent cable lengths in the system. What you really MEANT to say is - "this is my opinion...."regarding the sound of this cable at two different lengths because I BELIEVE that this (unnamed) electricial characteristic makes a sonic difference in how the two different lengths sound. I am happy that I could help you out (now which way did you come in?)
