Where would you rate these cables? More like a cardas cable or more like a Kimber cable?

I don't have any experience with either Cardas or Kimber, but I would have to say that they seem very neutral to my ears (although my experience with "high-end" cables is spotty).

Mellow and glossy, with the slightest hint of fruity oak.

A hint of smokiness, perhaps?

I'll be frank here. All this stuff about cables having a "sound" is complete nonsense...

-- I think there was a bit of sarcasm in Matthew's post (and charlie's, for that matter). I've been wrong before, though.

("Smoky" and electronics don't usually mix well -- as my electronics professor liked to say, once you let the smoke out, you can't put it back.)

Don't be scared off by these guys, sometimes they go 'belly up to the bar' for recreation.
(They're playing/messing with each other)!

I plan on purchasing these with the rest of my order, because they appear well-constructed, can't help you with the sound till I get my order.
