I don't know how to start. Fortunately/Unfortunately the Clear Days are really on the neutral side. Just because they are "silvers" does not mean they will sound sharp. Try the Nordost Blue Heavens. When I demoed them in my system years back, they were on the cool side of neutral.
The Clear Days are really very good cables and a lot of bang for buck.
So, Paul is back and making his cables again. Good to know that. How do you like the Clear Days with your Quad and rest of the system? When I had the Quads, they made a big difference. Would definitely like to see your system pics.
