Cables, real or placebo? IDK, but I do know that I’ve repeatedly experienced better sound, especially with speaker cables and ICs, not so much with power cords or USB cable. Oh, and with the hookup wire in my CS2.4 mod. I’m a fan of Cardas products but haven’t heard the latest “Clear” line. 
Sounds better to my ears and it bothers me not whether you agree of disagree.

Welcome!  Good to see you here. Thank You for sharing your customer service experience with Mr. Rob Gillum.
I look forward in reading more about you and your system around those CS 2.3 loudspeakers.

Happy Listening!

Welcome! It is great to have another professional musician here.
Thank You for citing Tara Labs as a sonic match to your 3.6 loudspeakers.  ARC electronics are very nice compliments as well.
I look forward in reading more about your Audio journey.

Happy Listening!

Prof's comment above got me thinking about another "wings" related quote from "It's a Wonderful Life." Clarence's note to George in the final scene in the movie went something like this:

Dear George:
Remember no man is a failure who has friends and expensive speaker cables.
Thanks for the wings.
Love, Clarence

Which level/models of Cardas are you using in your system?
What year (of manufacture) was your AX-5 Twenty built ?

Happy Listening!
