Cardas Cables

After having an amazing experience with a Cardas headphone cable for my Focal Utopia headphones, I am really getting an itch to replace my existing speaker cables (XLO UltraPlus) with Cardas cable.

Anyone familiar with Cardas speaker cables?

Based on current lineup, I really like the "Clear" version, but I cannot afford it, so looking for used.

I see several used cables for sale from Cardas, but they all appear to be previous models. And I have no clue which ones are the equivalent with current "Clear".

I see Neutral Reference, Cross, Golden Cross, etc.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks @elizabeth  for chiming in.

Duly noted. I have been warned the same on the fake legacy Cardas cables.

From what I read, from current line, Cardas Clear Reflection should be similar with Golden Reference Line.

So, I have so far narrowed it down to:

1 - Golden Reference (used with certificate)
2 - Clear Reflection (brand new)
3 - Golden Presence (cheaper version of Golden Reference, right below it)

Since a double run of Clear for biwiring would be too expensive for me, I am considering to move from Golden Reference to Clear Reflection.

When I made the same upgrade of the Interconnects, I had better imaging, more refined and extended frequency extremes.

Later the Reflection have been replaced by Beyond Interconnects, but I can't afford a biwired pair of Beyond or a double run of Clear speaker cables (it's the same), so the double run of Reflection is the best "real world" option for me.

Waiting for your inpressions, I ask to all if anyone did compare Golden Reference and Clear Reflection speaker cables.
