Know before you buy
This cable is specifically engineered for high-current components, such as power amplifiers and large integrated amps. Its design ensures these power-hungry devices receive a clean, stable current without the noise floor interference that can degrade performance.
The integrated toroidal filter provides broadband filtering across all three power legs, which effectively strips away electrical noise before it reaches your components. By smoothing the power signal, it allows your equipment to operate with greater clarity, improved resolution, and a more expansive dynamic range.
Matched Propagation technology is designed to mitigate dielectric interference and time smear. By aligning the propagation constants of the conductors, the cable ensures that the signal remains coherent and precise, resulting in a more immersive and detailed listening experience.
Despite its large diameter and robust construction, the cable is encased in a flexible TPE jacket designed to balance durability with manageability. While it is a substantial cable, it is engineered to be routed through standard home audio setups without excessive stiffness.
Like many high-end audio cables using specialized conductor geometries, the Clear Beyond typically requires a period of use to settle. You can expect the performance to fully stabilize and reach its peak clarity after approximately 100 hours of operation.
