Cardas Golden Presence - anyone familiar?

I use all Cardas Cross with fantastic results. I have wanted to try the Golden Cross myself. Reviewers (and even George Cardas himself) have said the sound gets warmer with the Golden Cross. Alas, I am unfamiliar with the golden presence, but I think it is more closely related to the Golden Reference.

It's the model between GR and NR.

the presence is listed below the golden reference on the cardas website but according to the prices on fatwyre.com, the presence is significantly less expensive than the golden cross ($700/m vs $870/m).
Therefore, I'm assuming the sound is closer to the cross than to the more revealing reference series.

I auditioned Cardas Cross, Neutral Reference, Golden Cross and Golden Reference *interconnects* a couple years ago. I ultimately bought Golden Cross: both Goldens had a lot more resolution than NR & Cross, but the slight added warmth of GC aided my system and ears over GR. But I found NR to be one of the best $500 ICs out there, far better than Cross, which was too syrupy and congested for me.

A couple months ago I was auditioning speaker cables, including Neutral Reference and Golden Presence. The NR spkr cables had all the great attributes I liked in the ICs. I had high hopes for the GP, but rather than filling the gap between NR and GR as expected, it seemed to be a 'cross' between regular Cross and NR. I could discern NO advantages in resolution, detail, smoothness between GP and NR that differentiated the GR ICs from NR. For the extra $$, it seemed to be just a warmer NR -- which is not a bad thing at all for a lot of systems. But now I had the 'warmth' with my ICs and the rest of my system and needed a more neutral cable. So for me, Golden Presence didn't justify its pricepoint closer to their GC/GR series.

BTW, after LOTS of A/Bing, the final contenders were NR and Wireworld Polaris 5. I chose the WW in part due to closeout pricing, but still wonder if I'd be a smidge happier with the Cardas NR...

Thanks Sdecker - I too am looking for new speaker cables and was considering going with the GC since I have been very happy with the ICs. Do you think that an all GC cabled system would be too much of a warm sound?
