Cardas Audio Clear Beyond Speaker Cable - 5.5 Meter - Spade to Spade - Pair

Editor's Choice Award 2024 – hi-fi+ Magazine

"In our test, everything about Clear Beyond was a revelation. We reviewed Clear Beyond interconnects, loudspeaker cables, and standard and XL power cords separately. However, combined in a system, their organic, lithe, and effortlessly fluid qualities worked in perfect harmony."

"The balance and poise of a system sporting Cardas Audio Clear Beyond is remarkable. Detail, dynamics, and soundstaging are excellent, but articulation and coherence are class-leading. Cardas Audio's Clear Beyond unlocks the full potential of high-end audio systems, allowing listeners to experience a more immersive and enjoyable audio experience. The name is apt… there's nothing more Clear than Cardas."

Editors' Choice Award 2019 – The Absolute Sound

"This thick blue cable takes the patented technologies in Cardas cables to new heights. The balanced and single-ended interconnects and the loudspeaker cable are functionally identical in sound. But that doesn’t mean a ‘house’ sound; instead, Clear sounds as close as you can get to having no sound. [Clear is] eclipsed in performance only by Cardas Clear Beyond. Where Clear used four conductors, Clear Beyond features eight, meticulously built up using multi-gauge in a 'Golden Section' symmetrical tri-axial design."

"The Clear Beyond performed as its name implies. From the upper mid-band on up, there is an open, stratospheric extension laden with effortless detail rendition, micro transient crispness, and space. With time, the rest of the spectrum catches up to that exalted level and becomes very linear bottom to top."

"When fully burned in, the Clear Beyond is of one sonic piece. Nothing sounds out of place or varying in character from one frequency range to another. The mid-range was a perfect bridge from the treble to the bass. Open, clean as a whistle, and fast as a jackrabbit. Vocals breathe beautifully rising and falling dynamically with great ease, and loaded with delicate inflection. Of course this applies to instrumentals as well. This wire allows for a very expressive, temporal, and rhythmic presentation, with a very high swing level. As a result, the musical engagement is very high."

"So transparent is the Clear Beyond, it is the perfect interface for those who want as little between their components as possible."

"In conjunction with the Clear Beyond's neutrality and the fire hose full of information that it flushes through the system, it also manages to maintain a dose of that Cardas magic that those who are familiar with the brand, have so valued over the years. This may seem to contradict all the above talk of neutrality, implying there is a "sound" related to the Clear Beyond. On an absolute level, that would have to be true. But this is one of those times where I gladly accept the paradox of neutrality and implicit "magic" while sitting back, throwing on some beloved music, and counting my blessing."

"If I had to provide one sentence to describe the Clear Beyond, it would state the greatest attribute was its clear, enveloping, natural musical presentation. Very impressive results indeed."

"The Cardas Clear Beyond, as well as the similar Clear cable, is a revolutionary product that advances the science of audiophile speaker cable technology."

"As such, we award it and George Cardas our rare Maximum Mojo Award. While not inexpensive, it represents a 'clear' value among state-of-the-art speaker cables."
