I don't know about Cardas, but if you were using the old PPT caps there would be no doubt. The reduction in noise, improvement in clarity, and image focus, is obvious and easy to hear.
That's the problem with these things. Tweaks, I mean. Someone makes one that is truly outstanding. Everyone hears and says wow that is amazing. But then instead of buying the good stuff they decide to try something else. Which of course turns out to be crap. Or they use something that looks the same, and jump to the conclusion it is the same, and then in a Beamon size leap of logic conclude everything that looks like that is snake oil, to use this sites preferred vernacular.
Get the PPT ones. If you can. Anything else, oh well.
