Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects

@ghdprentice

read up on Cardas. Made in the USA

Actually you didn’t read up correctly. Did you find any line or photo on their website or else where explaining how they actually manufacture cables such as wire drawing annealing twisting stranding extrusion along with machineries being used? Of course not because they don’t have that facility. in reality they buy bulk cables from an actual cable manufacturer in southern California all they do are cut/terminate/package/add big big profit/resell. Yes made in USA but not by themselves. so don’t get fooled.

@sdl4 "I’m impressed that you took the time and effort to figure that out. I hope that you continue to enjoy the naturalness and tonal richness that Cardas cables can provide."

Agree and it takes patience testing and evaluating the lineup of different cables. Those who make generalized comments are not familiar with the different cables and typically won’t invest or take the time to understand it more.

The copper is owned, mined, and sourced by Cardas for manufacturing through their own operation agreement they redeveloped and supported. Yes, there are videos showing the sub-contracted process of manufacturing the cable spools made in SoCal. Spools shipped to Bandon Oregon, cut and terminated there by hand. It’s a business that manages to remain profitable and stay in business 35+ years and employs workers. Anyone who has visited the facility in person is aware of this. Nobody is being fooled.

@w123ale Just for my personal reference because I am very familiar with Wireworld cabling, what level of WW cables did you replace? Interconnects and speaker? Thank you.
