Know before you buy
The Clear Reflection cables offer significantly better high-frequency extension and a lower noise floor. By utilizing Matched Propagation technology, they provide a more neutral, dynamic sound that reveals finer details without sounding harsh.
The suspended air core design minimizes the amount of insulation material in contact with the conductors. This reduces dielectric interference, which helps maintain signal integrity and results in a cleaner, more transparent audio presentation.
Despite their high-performance construction, these cables are finished with an ultra-soft TPR jacket. This makes them surprisingly flexible and easier to manage in tight spaces compared to many other flagship-level cables.
Yes, the Clear Reflection cables are available with either Cardas SRCA-CU RCA connectors or CG XLR-CU balanced connectors. You should select the termination that matches the inputs and outputs of your specific components.
These cables utilize a double composite shield consisting of tinned copper and magnet wire. This dual-layer approach effectively blocks external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring a pitch-black background for your music.
Yes, the neutral and dynamic nature of the Clear Reflection series makes them highly versatile. They are designed to complement a wide range of amplification types without imposing a heavy sonic signature on your system.
