Description
Authentic Cardas Clear Light Interconnect 1 meter Clear Light is an interconnect featuring innovations found in the Clear cables, including Matched Propagation Conductors. Clear Light Interconnect was designed as a simplification of Clear Interconnect, offering many of the benefits of our flagship product, at a more affordable price point. Clear Light Interconnect works well at any length. The Clear line represents the latest developments and insights into audio cable design. All of the Clear cables feature Matched Propagation conductors, as described in US Patent 7,674,973. All cables are made and hand-terminated in the US. Cardas Clear Light REVIEW: Cardas is not required to introduce, as one of the well-known and esteemed cable companies, the company has a whole philosophy behind cable production that is similar in its structure to a conch cut. Owner George Cardas says this is an optimal structure that has the benefits of eliminating noise and resonance - anyone interested in detailed technical explanations is invited to take a look at the company’s website. Today the company produces 2 cable families, Cross (for the lower segment) and Clear (for the upper segment), with each of the two families being divided into several types of cables that differ in quantity/thickness and price. In the case in question, these are speaker cables from the same family - Clear. The Clear Cables series is above the Clear Light series (which was replaced several years ago at Clear Cygnus) and is currently placed a second below the company’s most expensive cabling, the Clear Beyond series (until recently the Clear series was at the top of the Cardas food chain). Build What is different and what looks like, the cables look similar, the same quality blue color that ends in black metal ring (the hallmark of the Clear series except for the Clear Reflection which come in black color and a spectacular copper color ring), the external thickness of the cables not only looks the same, it is indeed as it stands at 670 OD, a quick look at the cable extension reveals the change between them - the two tendons that exit the main cable and connect to the speaker/amplifier. Here the story is different, the cable cut in Clear stands at 2X6.5 versus 2X9.5 in Clear Light, even at a glance it’s hard to miss the difference in thickness between the two.The extension in both of my cables, 6 mm diameter rhodium terminals (9 mm extension or banana can be ordered) which Cardas connects with a high-pressure pressing device. In general, these are two cables made of high-quality materials Sound The similarities between the cables do not end with construction, while the Clear Light cables were introduced (since then replaced by Clear Cygnus), George Cardas said in a statement that the light version preserves most of the features of the expensive Clear series. I am usually skeptical about such statements and treat them as net marketing statements, but in the above case, things are different. From experience with both cables, the Light version provides the same sound tone as the senior version and in terms of tail performance in the senior version, I would say that the Light version is capable of covering 95% from Clear performance, it’s not bad at all given the price gap. If so, what do you get in the senior version that doesn’t exist in the lower version, in a word - everything! This is the difference that stretches the performance envelope: more detail, more depth, more stage, more detail, more dynamism, more micro-dynamics or, in short, more than anything .. But a little. The change in question was felt from the first moment the cables were connected. This is not an abysmal, dramatic difference, nor a big difference. - The difference is simply there, there is no mistaking it and no one will be confused with the qualities that the expensive cable brings with it. Summary Clear cable, these are speaker cables that manage to push the performance casing to the upper limit with an outstanding ability to retrieve every possible detail that your setup can extract from the original. If it is an equal purchase, here the diminishing marginal output law does not lie, if your setup is sufficiently revealing and the penny is in your pocket, my answer is positive - using the Clear cables will allow you to exhaust your setup even more than you used to, knowing that wiring the speakers is no obstacle or Limit on the way. For the vast majority of audio enthusiasts, including those with a setup price exceeding 5 digits, the Clear Light / Cygnus versions will provide all that is needed and even more so, these are cables that allow you to upgrade the setup without having to run and upgrade them. The Clear is for those who hold a no-compromise setup. Thanks for looking, please see my other listings

Original konfektioniert mit 4 Cardas GRMO Cinchstecker. Das CLEAR Cygnus tritt die Nachfolge des CLEAR Light an. Das ist keine leichte Aufgabe, denn das Light war in den USA das erfolgreichste Kabel der CLEAR-Serie. Der Aufbau des CLEAR Cygnus mit vier Innenleitern ist etwas weniger komplex als der des großen CLEAR, zugleich aber sind in ihm viele von dessen klanglichen Eigenschaften schon präsent. Das CLEAR Cygnus Phono spielt sehr natürlich und angenehm detailliert, ohne hell zu klingen, und bietet eine weiträumige Darstellung mit gegenüber dem CLEAR Light gesteigerter holographischer Präsenz. Das CLEAR Cygnus setzt auf einen quad-axialen Aufbau, bei dem vier Innenleiter durch PFA-Schläuche in Position gehalten werden. Die Innenleiter wiederum bestehen aus mehrlagig gegenläufig um einen Kevlarkarn gewickelten, gelackten Einzellitzen. Diese Litzen sind in ihrem Größenverhältnis zueinander und zu den sie umgebenden Isolatoren - wie bei Cardas üblich - im Goldenen Schnitt angeordnet. Das CLEAR Cygnus ist doppelt geschirmt und dennoch sehr flexibel. Dies gilt insbesondere für die aus dem Kabelstrang heraus geführten Anschlussadern zu den Steckern.

RRP is 2400 euros. THE ASKING PRICE INCLUDES COURIER SERVICE Cardas Clear Analogue InterconnectsClear, the name for which the Clear cable line is named.Clear was made possible by George Cardas’ invention of the Matched Propagation Conductor in 2010. These conductors, with both speaker and interconnect variants, match the propagation velocity of the signal through the copper wire to the propagation rate of the best available dielectric materials. This is an elegant solution to the intelligibility problem that has plagued audio cable since long before HiFi.Early telephone systems used load coils spaced every few poles (also known as Pupin coils, for their inventor Mihajlo Pupin) to prevent amplitude and time delay distortion. Although this solution was was an improvement over the garbled sound created by the signal outpacing the dielectric, it was also a “fix it after the fact” approach.It is fitting that George Cardas developed a significantly more elegant and effective solution, in that long before founding Cardas Audio, he spent years as a line engineer with the telephone company in Southern California.The Matched Propagation Solution prevents the distortion from happening in the first place. By matching the propagation of the conductor to the dielectric through the use of specific pitch angles for each strand of copper wire wrapped around a core of Kevlar yarn, and the selection of hard to obtain, high performance dielectric materials with fast dissipation rates, the signal remains intact and intelligible throughout the length of the cable,The result is a conductor that conveys an unprecedented level of realism and transparency, without any detriment to the musicality of the system.The four 25.5 AWG Matched Propagation conductors in Clear are arranged in a trio suspended by Carbon impregnated air-tubes, held together with PTFE tape. This core is suspended by set of air-tubes 1 Golden Ratio step (1:1.618) larger in diameter than the inner air-tubes, held together with graphite tape, holding the dual composite shields at a precise distance from the conductors.Clear Interconnect is terminated in either our classic SRCA RCA connectors, or our premium CG XLR balanced connectors - which were designed for Clear itself.Technical Specifications:Construction.450 O.D., Cardas copper, PFA-air dielectric, 3 x 25.5 AWG Clear conductors, Matched Propagation, Golden section, Crossfield, litz, two spiral shields & PFA graphite composite, Alcryn jacket.Termination Options:Clear Interconnect is available in balanced configuration, using our Cardas CG XLR plugs, or single-ended using our SRCA plugs
