Know before you buy
The Clear Reflection cable is designed to smooth out harshness in the high frequencies without sacrificing detail. It is an excellent choice if your system tends to sound overly bright or fatiguing during long listening sessions.
This proprietary design ensures that the signal travels through the cable at the same speed as the conductor core, which minimizes timing errors. The result is a more coherent, precise soundstage with better clarity across the frequency spectrum.
Yes, it features a double composite shield consisting of tinned copper and magnet wire. This design effectively blocks external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, contributing to the cable's signature 'pitch black' background.
Despite its high-end construction and 10.66mm diameter, the cable is finished in an ultra-soft extruded TPR jacket. It is surprisingly supple and easy to route, making it manageable even in cramped equipment racks.
These cables are terminated with Cardas SRCA-CU connectors. These are high-quality, copper-based connectors designed to maintain signal integrity and provide a secure, low-resistance connection to your components.
It strikes a balance between the two. It offers the speed and detail of a modern, analytical cable while retaining the musical, slightly warmer character that Cardas is known for.
