I had compared Cardas Clear with Wireworld Platinum Eclipse on my previous McIntosh system.
While Cardas had an ultra robust bottom end I’d go so far to describe as “juicy,” that was all it had. I found the rest of the sound undefined and unresolving by comparison to a number of other cables I was auditioning. I was auditioning Wireworld’s Platinum 6 series at the time and I didn’t love that either, though. At some point I demoed WW Platinum 7 and I found what was, to me, the best combination of traits in a cable- never thin sounding, warm and natural bass, realistic mid range tonality, and clarity without any spotlighting of the high frequencies. It’s funny because it doesn’t necessarily do any of those things the best I’ve ever heard, but it sounds the most natural. I’ve never heard this combination of traits integrated so naturally. The only disclaimer I’d make is that this does not include the WW Platinum power cables. I haven’t heard the latest series of Platinum power cables as I’m thrilled with my current references.
Obviously, YMMV
