To do so I eliminated one Harmonic Technology Magic Link II and 2 Kimber Select KS-1021s. Never sounded better

I'm curious to hear what your experiences were between the HT and the AQ cables. Is the HT "muddier" sounding than the Colorados?
The HT cables had a very even sound to them frequency response wise.  The Colorados were even as well with a greater transparency and bass impact.  Not knocking HT, just liked the "clearer window" to the music with the Colorados in my system.  YMMV

If you choose the Cardas try the Cross they are my choice over all the Cardas cables and worth every cent.

I agree with tooblue cardas cables will tame a foward or bright sounding system, and still sound musical warm and rich sounding. I use klipsch speakers and they can be bright and to revealing at times. I also use cardas cross interconnects. The cross interconnects seem to be the sweet spot in the cardas line.
