Cardas Neutral Ref IC V Cardas Cross

I am finding the cross to have a larger stage and not to be quite so analytical. NR is a detail machine but very clean. The croos also seems as if the bass is stronger. keith

I've had all of Cardas products in my system including the Ayre Cables that they make for Ayre. I found that all Cardas in MY system (yours can and probably will be different) that the soundstage is greatly truncated...flat with little height. The main problem is that there is significant grain throughout the sound spectrum. I found Cardas power cables to be the absolute worst in MY system. My change to Anti-Cables revealed a revelation in sound.

I have tried anti cables speaker cables twice. They are made 10 mimutes from me. They are great for the money or even beyond BUT seveal of us noticed they do no have much sense of the venue or the spaxe the performance is taking place in. Not sure about the ICs keith
