I listened to the Cardas first for quite awhile until the Zu Mobius showed up. I've been listening to the Zu exclusively since it came. Two weeks to be exact. I've been finding it lacking and I just switched back to the Cardas and I'm really astounded at how much better it sounds to me. I don't think I even want to swap cables again. I think I'll just send the Zu Mobius back and get my refund. The Zu made my Senn's sound like my old Grado 325's and that just wasn't what I was looking for. They shoved the emphasis into the upper mids directly at the expense of the bass. They were unbalanced and sort of empty sounding and harsh on some recordings. There was a loss of fluidity, atmospherics and naturalness that immediately returned when I swapped back to the Cardas. There was no loss of detail with the Cardas at all. I thought they had a more honest, clean sound and did justice to the entire spectrum. To me the bass seems more real, alive and integrated. But that's just me. The Mobius definitely wins the beauty contest though, but I couldn't care less about that.
