Compared to the Cardas Cross, my long term reference at this price point, the Nordost cable is cleaner, slightly quicker and has a more detailed and natural top end. As for the speaker wire, it sounds even more like one hand clapping. With that in mind, the Red Dawn wires, and especially the speaker wires are just about the cleanest, quickest and most natural wires I’ve yet to hear. Stunning.
