Sonically -Cardas the difference between the CLEAR Loudspeaker cable ,and CLEAR BEYOND


I got a very good deal on the Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs and they are very good , I feel the INTERCONNECT is more important if I had to make a choice between Loudspeaker cable and interconnect  coming from your sourse, Thst being said 

the Cardas clear beyond has 2 x as many conductors  a n 8 gauge vs 5 gauge 

has anyone ever compared the CLEAR  vs Clear BEYOND  Loudspeaker cable .

i can get the CLEAR for 60% off as a demo pair , how much better is the clear beyond  on the SPEAKER end since I have their  top clear beyond for the interconnects. Thanks much  in advance.

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’ ….

Speculation be damned.  The only thing that really matters here is which cables sound best to you in your audio system, and the only way to know for sure which cables will sound best in your set-up is to audition both of them in your audio system.  Best value is always great, but the best sound quality while still being within your budget is the goal.  Happy listening.                

Beware the blind “hot deal” CARDAS cables purchase temptation without a sampling alternatives of actual audition trial, or physical inspection: and assessed seller reputation, and especially lacking  a supplied COA.
CARDAS informed me that an estimated 25% of their cables ads are inferior cheap build fakes with lame comparative performance .


Here is a simple sample of fake versus authentic on a sample model:
