Sets the Standard for Affordable Speaker Cable

Audio Advisor is pleased to announce a brand new No Frills speaker from industry leader Cardas Audio. The 101 Speaker cable outperforms conventional bargain cables by leaps and bounds. Smooth, non-fatiguing, and musical, it sets the standard for affordable high value speaker cables. And it's made in the USA.

And you save a bundle buying Audio Advisor's 'No Frills Packaging' version of 101 Speaker cable!

Expertly Hand Terminated

Audio Advisor goes the extra mile with cable termination. Each Cardas 101 Speaker cable is hand terminated using the highest-purity WBT Silver Solder by Audio Advisor's expert terminator and veteran technician, Randy Kaboos, who has over 30 years of termination experience. Then each cable is hand tested to ensure quality.

The cables are then color coded with the highest-grade heat shrink to ensure proper installation.

After Randy hand-terminates the cables, he packages them in a simple sealed plastic bag instead of a fancy box, hence the name "No Frills" termination. You won't get a fancy box, but you will get a great sounding cable at an unheard of bargain price!

"Three-Dimensional and Detailed, Full Bodied"

Cardas 101 user Esarhaddon at forum.audiogon.com reports, "These are a very well respected speaker wire and very inexpensive for the quality… I would strongly recommend these simple cables. Cardas has some of the BEST copper in the industry and these are designed on very basic and knowledgeable standards."

Another Cardas 101 user, RossB, comments via stereonet.com forums, "I have been using them for a couple of weeks, and after a few days of burning in, during which they smoothed out and filled out to a small but noticeable amount, they now sound excellent. Very neutral, excellent dynamics and tonal colour, and much more three-dimensional and detailed, while still sounding full bodied."

High Quality Spade or Banana Termination

Both the banana and spade termination are made of high quality copper with a gold plating. The bananas are a BFA-type with expanding contact area. The barrel on the bananas is chromium-plated. The spades are a 'double-notched' type, which will fit either 1/4" or 5/16" binding posts with ease.

Performance Way Beyond Its Gauge (and Price)

Cardas 101 is a 2 x 14-gauge cable with an outside diameter of 0.365”. It features two 14 AWG bare copper Cardas conductors, each built around a small air-tube, providing performance beyond its gauge – not to mention its price point.

Thanks to its Golden Ratio scaled, Cardas Crossfield conductors and dielectrics that include air-tubes, PFA, and 100% natural cotton, 101 Speaker is smooth and non-fatiguing - perfect for entry to mid-level systems that often have a bit of a harsh edge, especially with digital source material.
