I'm sure the entry-level Cardas banana plug sounds good, so I look forward to reading your impressions of the top-line model if you decide to try it.
Since it does not involve solder joints, you should be given full right of return if you are not satisfied with the mechanical function and sonic results.

I've already ordered a set of the more upscaled versions, which I'm to assume will arrive by Monday or Tuesday. Either way......, I intend to leave them intact as I couldn't bear to send them back to be re-terminated as I'm loving their way of rendering music way to much to go back to anything less....
The Cardas CABD dual-banana plug is a classic Cardas-type connector. One piece eutectic brass base metal with rhodium over silver plating will certainly deliver the Cardas house sound, Oscar.
Duster...., as always I've found every single one of your recommendations very worthwhile. So I'd never ever doubt your ears.Thanks again....

I expect the Cardas CABD in combination with Cardas' pure copper binding posts will be a synergistic match, as well.
I look forward to your report if you chose to post one, Oscar. It will be an easy thing to swap-out the connectors for a comparative evaluation session.
As per Duster's recommendation to replace the Cardas Audio CABE, with the more costlier CABD deluxe version has proven very worthwhile.
As I'm now detecting ever greater transient response, with less smearing of notes ( not that it was bad beforehand ) and a clearer sense of spaciousness that was simply glossed over by the cheaper versions......, it's as if the polymer bracing as attracted to each banana plug has in fact offered a better means of controlling the vibration properties due to the looseness of said spring reinforcements from within.
Each note is better defined in time, with an added sense of flow to it which simply wasn't there before.
Once again, this was one of those gray areas to me......, yet as always by placing my trust in Duster, whom has in my book always explored vital areas when it comes to enhancing ones system via various tweaks, has never steered me wrong.
Much praise and kudos earned.....
I'm glad the suggestion was worthwhile, Oscar.
The polymer bracket is implemented in tandem with a solid eutectic brass base metal, with a highly-conductive silver plating, then a very hard-surface rhodium plating for the purpose of George Cardas' connector design concepts. The fact that you are using them with Cardas' pure copper binding posts makes it all happen in a special way, in that the overall synergy is the result of an old school audiophile cable designer with Golden Ears ;-)
Duster,
I'm in total agreement with all that you've said....., as well as your teachings. By all means continue preaching to the masses, hopefully one day others shall understand your shared words?.
Stay true to the cause.
I most certainly have every intention of following this one up....., thanks again Duster.
BTW, keep those cool-looking audio gear photos up and running ;-)
You got it.....
