Three Decades of Cable Innovation from the Oregon Coast

Since 1987, Cardas Audio has been redefining what's possible in audio cable design from their workshops in Bandon, Oregon—population 3,321. Founded by former telephone company line engineer George Cardas, who applied Golden Ratio mathematics to audio transmission, Cardas transformed from a garage startup to one of high-end audio's most respected names.

George's breakthrough came from recognizing cables as the limiting factor in his own system. Drawing on telephone transmission line theory and applying the Golden Ratio proportions he'd successfully used in racing engine design, he created multi-stranded Litz conductors that earned him multiple U.S. patents. Today, from their coastal Oregon facilities, the family-run company—now managed by George's daughter Angela—continues hand-terminating every cable while drawing their own ultra-pure copper, making them nearly unique among cable manufacturers in controlling every aspect of production.

The Perfect Synthesis of Heritage and Innovation

Clear Reflection represents Cardas's masterful bridge between their legendary Golden Reference heritage and cutting-edge Clear technology. Positioned strategically in the Clear line between Clear Light and flagship Clear, this cable delivers what reviewers call "a synthesis of the warmth and luxuriousness of Golden Reference with the detail and transparency of Clear."

This isn't just another Clear cable—it's specifically engineered to bring flagship-level performance to real-world systems, offering the musicality that made Golden Reference a legend while incorporating the revolutionary Matched Propagation Technology that defines modern Cardas excellence.

Revolutionary Matched Propagation Technology

• Patented Conductor Design: US Patent 7,674,973 for velocity-matched signal transmission
• Golden Ratio Scaling: Conductors sized to 1:1.618 proportions for resonance control
• Kevlar Core Construction: Grade 1, 99.9999% pure oxygen-free copper with SPN clear coat
• Cross-Field Layer Geometry: Insulated in extruded PFA jacket for minimal dielectric effect
• Litz Configuration: Every strand enamel-coated to eliminate crosstalk and oxidation

Advanced Geometric Engineering

• Suspended Air Core Design: Twisted pair with anti-static LDPE air-tubes
• Carbon-Impregnated Binding: PTFE tape wrap for electromagnetic isolation
• Double Composite Shielding: Tinned copper and magnet wire shields suspended from conductors
• 1.618x Scaled Air Tubes: Outer PTFE tubes proportioned to Golden Ratio
• 25.5 AWG Conductors: Dual matched propagation conductors per channel
