quattro fil xlr or cardas golden cross

I have two systems in my house. The first one comprised of tubed gear with Electrostatic speakers I cable with Nordost Quatra-fils and SPM speaker cables.

My H/T system which is all solid state is cabled with Cardas Golden Ref and Gold Ref speaker cables. Both systems sound great just the way they are.

I couldn't imagine switching the cabling on either system. I've tried other cables on both systems but these seem to work best with my components and speakers. Definetly system dependent

I agree with Jfrech and Glen.

For resolution and speed the Nordost is hard to beat at the price point. I have been told that the QF/SPM combo gets you about 90 to 95% to Valhalla.

Isn't the Rowland gear wired with Cardas? (Consider Acoustic Zen to your list.)

I owned Cardas Golden Reference and tried Quattro fil in my system. I slightly preferred the QF because it had more speed and extention then the CGR. I kept the CGR for a while and then found a cable that in my system was better than both—Stealth PGS. The Stealth possesed the great mids of the CGR but, added noticable more resolution and extention at the frequency extremes. Unfortunately as we all know, it comes down to personal taste and system matching. I would seriously give the Stealth PGS a listen. Good luck.
