Cardas vs. Harmonic Technology

I am looking to replace the MIT speaker cable between my Audio research VT200 and my new Magnepan 3.7 speakers. Has anyone compared the Cardas Golden Reference cables to the Harmonic Technology Pro 9s? I have the Golden Reference interconnects throughout my system and was leaning that way but have not had the opportunity to audition the HT Pro 9s. I also use an ARC Ref 3, an Einstein Turntable Choice phono section (SE), and a VPI Classic with a Benz Micro Gullwing.

Thanks in advance.

I have Golden ref IC's throught my system and due to the length and cost I have Harmonic Tech Fantasy speaker cables. I have tried the Pro-9 and could buy a used pair at a good price but wasn't overly impressed to the point of doing so. They really didn't deliver that much better than the Fantasy's. I am hoping to re-arrange my system to
afford Golden Reference someday as I think the synergy of all Cardas will bring out the best sound. I am using an LS26 and McIntosh MC402.

I had Harmonic Tech and Tara speaker cables over the years and I have since replaced spakers for two systems with Mapleshade Golden Helix cables. They are far superior sonically. You can audition for 30 days and send back for refund if you don't agree. Bass extension and greater coherence of soundstagge, mids and higs are the broad impressions are the benefits that complelled me to keep them in both systems.
