Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C

i have owned them both and sold them both. i will never own cardas again.

why ? glasre in the mids.

the golden hex is definitely warmer than the golden cross.

i found the golden cross closer to truth than beauty--not very colored.

Wow, checking my sales history. It's been 6 years since I had a Cardas cable in my system. I have had Golden REF. and Golden Hexlink 5 and 5c interconnects. Both are very good especially used together. Speaker cable wise I've owned Golden Hexlink 5c, and Golden Cross. The Golden Hexlink 5c was much better in my system than the Golden Cross I bought to replace it. The Golden Cross seem to through a lot more information at you in an unmusical way. The term T.M.I comes to mind. The sound was always tense and dynamic never relaxed and dynamic like the Golden Hexlink 5c I sold. I would like to revisit the Golden Hexlike 5c speaker cable and interconnects one day.

My advice is not to limit yourself to Cardas. Be sure to experience the cable you might be interested in, in YOUR system. Every cable sounds a bit different in different systems.

Funny thing I was at a loss in finding speaker cables for my Grand Veenas and my mono block amps.

I had an old pair of Cardas Golden Hex 5c, one mtr, stripped the spades off at one end and made DIY biwires.

Best wires I have found yet,glad I never sold them.
