Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ?


Any impression, review,etc. on these new cables?

I own two Clear Beyond Power cords for the Luxman 509u integrated amp and Accuphase DP700 SACD player, Clear Reflection XLR interconnects and a double run of old (but still good) Golden Reference speaker cables biwiring my B&W 803D’s, plus an old Golden Reference Power feeding the Goldnote Dumbo AC (the power filter dedicated to the digital source), while the Purepower 3000 feeding all system receives the dedicated power line (10 meters -I write from Italy- of 3x12AWG for hospital grade UPSs cable terminated with Oyaide C279) from the electric panel.

I am planning to replace the Reflection XLR with the new Beyond, and the G.R. Power for the AC filter with a Clear Power.

More extended, neutral and dynamic but still musical interconnects, and less bright/forward power cable should re-create the same balance, but a step "beyond" ;) .

I read from the Cardas website the new Beyond should be a musical cable with increased "slam" on low frequencies, instead of the too resolving, light character of the old Clear, still the Rev.1, I never liked; maybe Beyond is a more extended Reflection than an improved Clear, who knows?!

@fsonicsmith   Thanks for sharing your findings with the Clear Beyond ICs in your system. 

Good points regarding what is not often said:

"Strict neutrality" is one of those concepts that sounds undeniable to the brain but in earthly practice is not necessarily a good thing. My point; my system needed a little manipulation and I think that Cardas would never admit it, but Cardas Clear and Clear Beyond to some degree manipulate the sound to create a sense of reality-all things being system-dependant of course.

I am also searching for a 2 pair of XLR cables , I just purchased the Luxman M-900u / C-90u combo and before that I ran single ended . My current speaker cables are Antipodes Ref and I’m trying to decide between Antipodes Ref XLR or something in the upper Cardas line 

I agree with the above poster that changed from Purist to Cardas.  Cardas are very neutral and natural sounding, at least in my system
For some reason Cardas never worked well in my system - no matter which variant. (Ayre)
My God Stringreen ….give it a break. I think you actually troll for any Cardas post just to interject the same statement each and every time. You had noted in many posts in which you just bash Cardas that you haven't even listened to their newer Clear Line of cables. I do not like Ayre components, well made and with a strong following but I have always felt that they were a little thin sounding to me ears ......so I never bough any Ayre equipment but I do not impose my thoughts on every post here about Ayre. Getting old my friend ...let it go.
