Need help with IC upgrade Cardas Golden Cross



A few years ago I got a pair of Cardas Golden Cross ICs to smoothen out my solid state equipment. Recently I've changed the equipment to a Bel Canto Dac3 connected directly to my Conrad Johnson 2005a applifier. While I like this combination a feel like the Golden Cross cable is a little too soft. I'm looking for an IC with a little more definition and just a touch more forward. While I'm considering the Wireworld Gold Eclipse 5.2 I'd be interested in any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Note that I've used most Cardas cable including Cross, Golden Cross, Golden Presense, and Golden Reference. I'm looking for a change...

hi..

Try Morrow audio IC. You have 60 days audition period.
so if you don't like it, you can return it.

I have ma3, i'm happy with that,

I've posted this before.... I tried all of the Cardas cables and there was nothing that was worse in my system. At least try others...Cardas may very well work for you.

Kimber Select is excellent cable, all 3 metal types are solid performers. I think the 1021 hybrid is top notch and the 1011 and 1016 is excellent also. Not a huge fan of 1030 in my system - others love it.

The 1021 is the most nuetral cable I have had in my system.

I've had enough experience with cables to believe that some are in fact system dependent.

I actually have Blue Jeans cabling on my 2nd (office system) and they were better than the more expense cables they replaced.

Anyone try the new Wireworld 6 series?
