Post Script wild card :
If you do indulge yourself by choosing the double-price CLEAR BEYOND speaker cables , then think longer term about the contributing longer-term factors influencing your decision matrix :
Because they are significantly more expensive ( think double cost … ) and a hefty investment at an eye-watering price for most:
- If they don’t stir your drink now, or if you change system components suggesting a move to new cables to sustain system synergy; think about likelihood of being able sell them without suffering a significant haircut on your initial investment. Most AGON-ers may shy away from them regardless.based on price ….even resale price.
- Without prejudice to the significant cost factor above , your bespoke lengths (currently unspecified … ) may not suit a majority of prospective buyers in the resale forum ( too long , too short, replacement connectors etc,)
- AND ENSURE that you get a CARDAS Certificate of Authenticity ( “COA” ) regardless if purchased new or pre-owned .CARDAS won’t reterminate them for plug or length retermination without and may likely seize and destroy any counterfeit or fake units (….innocent or otherwise ….) .
Note: with their twin patented nautilus-like complex strand weave, they are not a DIY or inexperienced option to alter and need done at their factory.
Go to their website about their fraud cables blurbs. A lot of even preowned units are inferior build fakes with lame excuses for lacking a COA.
CARDAS will cheerfully give a preliminary non-binding guessed assessment of authenticity via pics, ….and better still …. provide a binding full assessment a replacement COA if sent back to them for their inspection..
Just sayin’ ….
