Mark Markel and Qinwei Sun, the chief engineers at Analysis Plus, determined that round cable used in conventional speaker cable designs has high levels of current bunching, skin effect phenomenon, and other frequency characteristics that degrade signal quality.

From a DAC to an amp. From a streamer to a preamp. The cable sends a small line-level signal between source and amplification. Every home audio system needs at least one pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the RCA version of the Parsec. RCA is the most common analog audio plug — small, round, and color-coded. If your gear has RCA jacks on the back, this cable fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parsec sits two rungs above the Crosslink and one rung above the Iridium. It brings the air-tube dielectric and Kevlar-core construction from the Clear range down to a more affordable cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the Parsec, the next step is the Clear Sky — the entry to the Clear product line and the lowest-priced Cardas cable with Matched Propagation Conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the Difference With Cardas Parsec Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parsec is the successor to Cardas's legendary Quadlink cable. It keeps what people loved about Quadlink — warmth, richness, musicality — and adds the transparency and dynamics from the Clear product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wire is Cardas Grade 1 Ultra Pure copper. It is 99.9999% pure (six nines). It is built as Litz wire, which means many tiny copper strands, each one coated, twisted together. The coating prevents oxidation and keeps each strand apart from the others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside each Litz conductor, the strands grow from small in the middle to bigger on the outside. The size jump follows the Golden Ratio (1 to 1.618). George Cardas earned two patents for this stranding back in the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach conductor sits inside a poly-e air tube. Air has the lowest dielectric constant of any practical material, which means it stores almost no electrical charge between the cable's conductors. Cardas uses air-tube construction in their higher-tier cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductors are arranged as a shielded twisted pair, wrapped in carbon-impregnated FEP tape. A tin-plated copper braided shield wraps the whole thing, blocking RFI (radio, Wi-Fi, cell signals) and EMI (transformers, motors). A flexible alcryn rubber jacket finishes the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connectors on this RCA version are \u003cstrong\u003eCardas GRMO\u003c\/strong\u003e RCA plugs.

The internals are very similar — same copper, same Kevlar-core geometry, same air-tube dielectric, same Litz construction. The main difference is the connector. XLR can reject more noise on long runs because it carries the signal on three conductors instead of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy equipment has both RCA and XLR outputs. Which should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the run is over 3 feet between your two components, XLR is generally the better pick — it rejects more noise. For short runs on the same shelf, RCA does just as well. Some gear is also \"true balanced\" only on the XLR side, so XLR may sound better there. Check your manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat length do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the shortest cable that reaches your two pieces of gear, with a little slack. Most rack systems do well with a 1-meter pair. Measure the actual path the cable will take and round up to the next length we stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Parsec compare to the Cardas Iridium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iridium uses the same Grade 1 copper but a star-quad geometry without air tubes. The Parsec adds Kevlar-core construction and poly-e air-tube dielectric — design language Cardas uses across the higher-end Clear cables.

RCA jacks are small, round, and color-coded. Red is the right channel. White or black is the left. Most home audio gear uses RCA. Higher-end preamps and integrated amps may also have XLR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR jacks are larger, three-pin, and roughly cylindrical. They are often called \"balanced.\" If both your source and your amp use RCA, get the RCA Parsec.

From a DAC to an amp. From a streamer to a preamp. The cable sends a small line-level signal between source and amplification. Every home audio system needs at least one pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the RCA version of the Parsec. RCA is the most common analog audio plug — small, round, and color-coded. If your gear has RCA jacks on the back, this cable fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parsec sits two rungs above the Crosslink and one rung above the Iridium. It brings the air-tube dielectric and Kevlar-core construction from the Clear range down to a more affordable cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the Parsec, the next step is the Clear Sky — the entry to the Clear product line and the lowest-priced Cardas cable with Matched Propagation Conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the Difference With Cardas Parsec Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Parsec is the successor to Cardas's legendary Quadlink cable. It keeps what people loved about Quadlink — warmth, richness, musicality — and adds the transparency and dynamics from the Clear product line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wire is Cardas Grade 1 Ultra Pure copper. It is 99.9999% pure (six nines). It is built as Litz wire, which means many tiny copper strands, each one coated, twisted together. The coating prevents oxidation and keeps each strand apart from the others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside each Litz conductor, the strands grow from small in the middle to bigger on the outside. The size jump follows the Golden Ratio (1 to 1.618). George Cardas earned two patents for this stranding back in the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach conductor sits inside a poly-e air tube. Air has the lowest dielectric constant of any practical material, which means it stores almost no electrical charge between the cable's conductors. Cardas uses air-tube construction in their higher-tier cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductors are arranged as a shielded twisted pair, wrapped in carbon-impregnated FEP tape. A tin-plated copper braided shield wraps the whole thing, blocking RFI (radio, Wi-Fi, cell signals) and EMI (transformers, motors).

The internals are very similar — same copper, same Kevlar-core geometry, same air-tube dielectric, same Litz construction. The main difference is the connector. XLR can reject more noise on long runs because it carries the signal on three conductors instead of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy equipment has both RCA and XLR outputs. Which should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the run is over 3 feet between your two components, XLR is generally the better pick — it rejects more noise. For short runs on the same shelf, RCA does just as well. Some gear is also \"true balanced\" only on the XLR side, so XLR may sound better there. Check your manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat length do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the shortest cable that reaches your two pieces of gear, with a little slack. Most rack systems do well with a 1-meter pair. Measure the actual path the cable will take and round up to the next length we stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Parsec compare to the Cardas Iridium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iridium uses the same Grade 1 copper but a star-quad geometry without air tubes. The Parsec adds Kevlar-core construction and poly-e air-tube dielectric — design language Cardas uses across the higher-end Clear cables.

That's why dielectric manufacturers may brag about what their dielectrics will do at a million cycles per second, but don't talk about what they do at a thousand cycles per second, where the negative effects are audible. Jitter is one directly observable artifact of this conductor\/dielectric relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSome cable manufacturers try to compensate for this differential lagging in a cable by adding an electrical network (for example, by using a load coil), but the damage has already been done. Once the low level information in the signal has been smeared, it is lost and cannot be recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Matched Propagation Solution\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSince the so-called 'charge propagation velocity' of the dielectric can never equal the speed of electrical changes in the conductors, George Cardas' ingenious solution with Cardas Clear cables is to slow the conductor to match the rate of the dielectric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn a concentrically stranded conductor with individually coated strands (such as the constant \"Q\" conductor used in Cardas cables) the vector velocity and decay time of the conductor can be matched to that of the dielectric by controlling the lay length progression (twists per inch or TPI) of successive strand layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eA matched propagation velocity conductor of this type, as used in Cardas Clear cables, mitigates the effects of capacitance much as a load coils do, but it does this continuously in the cable rather than at intervals. Eliminating the time delay between storage elements in the cable itself eliminates the bandwidth and dynamic range limitation seen in periodically loaded cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Huge Dynamic Range of Resolution\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eClear has a constant transfer characteristic, exponentially lower resonance, and a huge dynamic range of resolution. Its Matched Propagation Conductors maintain low level information and natural transients in a way that no other cable can. It does not exaggerate the leading edge of the signals or smear low-level information as conventional conductors do. Clear maintains the overall time signature of the original sound elements making it easier to pick out what George Cardas calls \"the head in the choir or the emotion in the individual voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe insights and technology in all the Cardas Clear cables brings a new level of clarity and realism to your listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSignal Propagation in a Cable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe signal in a cable is propagated two ways: electrostatically and electromagnetically. At high impedances, problems are predominantly related to electrostatics through the transfer of charge in the dielectric. As we've seen, George's matched propagation conductor resolves that issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAt low impedances, the situation changes. The signal is also transferred as current, because you need current to do work such as moving speaker drivers. So here the magnetic fields are the analogous issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInterconnects vs. Speaker Cables\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBecause interconnect cables flow very little current, the 'magnetic shadow' from their magnetic field is tiny compared to their 'electrostatic shadow.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSpeaker cable problems tend to fall in both worlds, though. That's because the impedance circuit can run from as little as 2 ohms or less in a loudspeaker to as much as 1000 ohms or more in a headphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eHow the magnetic fields interact with their surroundings is affected by the geometry of the cable. This is where Cardas Clear's constant \"Q\" conductors and Perfect Mirror Quadaxial (an application of Matched Propagation Technology) construction come into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAs George explains it, \"Perfect Mirror Quadaxial construction nulls the magnetic field of the cable from the perspective of the universe that surrounds the cable, so that the shadow of the cable's electromagnetic activity is not reflected in the signal.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eNulling the effect of the magnetic field removes one more cause of distortion from the musical signal. Combined with their groundbreaking elimination of differential lagging in a cable, Cardas Clear's constant \"Q\" conductors and Perfect Mirror Quadaxial construction create a cable that is breathtakingly clear, as the name suggests -- a cable that will let the full potential of your source material and system shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"pdf\/Short_History%20_Audio%20_Cable.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e“A Short History of Audio Cable” by George Cardas (4mb PDF) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"pdf\/Short_History%20_Audio%20_Cable.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/images\/pdficon_large.gif\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"pdf\/DPV.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e“Dielectric Propagation Velocity” by George Cardas (120k PDF) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"pdf\/DPV.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/images\/pdficon_large.gif\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"pdf\/Signal_Audio_Cable.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e“Signal in an Audio Cable” by George Cardas (120k PDF) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"pdf\/Signal_Audio_Cable.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/images\/pdficon_large.gif\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cardas","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45981236822189,"sku":"NEW-CRCLSKYIC-3.5-PR-RCRC","price":1545.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/crclskyic_2-large__27885.1691585881.1280.1280_8a8b238f-a524-4956-a65b-3b37713c0b3d.jpg?v=1778098534"},{"product_id":"kimber-kable-pbj-interconnect-cable-4-0-meter-rca-to-rca-single","title":"Kimber Kable PBJ Interconnect Cable - 4.0 Meter - RCA to RCA - Single","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eStereophile\u003c\/em\u003e \"Recommended Component\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\"Beautifully Made… Sounds Great\"\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Reference-level wire you can afford,\" declares audio critic Corey Greenberg in his \u003cem\u003eStereophile\u003c\/em\u003e review of Kimber's PBJ interconnect (volume 16, number 7).
