Thanks everyone for your input.

@smelly_socks. Do you have any experience with the cardas hexlink 5c speaker cable? Would that fall into the new or old cardas sound signature camp? Thanks.

Designs from well prior to 2010 would be the old sound.
Ask when the design (name of product) was introduced. Any Cardas dealer with a long experience should know.

From a quick Google the full name of hexlink is "Golden Hexlink" with a date in the link of 2004, so it is a OLD style/sound. Warm and full. Hexlink is no longer being made per Cardas list of speaker cables currently available So Hexlink would be an old design, The classic warm Cardas sound.

The NEW Cardas clear design speaker cables are named:
Clear Beyond
Clear
Clear Reflections
Clear Light
Clear Sky
Parsec

The OLD style sound still for sale are:
Golden Cross
Cross
Twinlink
Crosslink

  The Hexlink series were very warm sounding.The 5c was an attempt to add a little better top-end extension to the Hex cable.I believe it was unsuccessful.Just sounded a bit more open,but tarnished the virtues of the original Hex.IMO
