From Telephone Lines to Power Lines
George Cardas spent decades as a telephone company engineer discovering that power transmission follows the same physics as signal transmission – just at different scales. His Clear Reflection power cable applies golden ratio (1.618) geometry to AC delivery, solving problems most manufacturers don't know exist. At $750, it sits perfectly in Cardas's range: above entry-level Parsec, below flagship Clear Beyond, delivering reference performance at real-world pricing.
The Power Cable That Feeds Your Components What They're Starving For
Your components' power supplies are desperately trying to convert messy AC into clean DC. The Clear Reflection doesn't just deliver power – it pre-conditions it. Matched propagation technology ensures hot and neutral conductors maintain perfect phase relationships. Golden ratio spacing eliminates resonances that create hash on your power line. This isn't thick wire in fancy packaging – it's engineered power delivery that makes everything downstream perform better.
Where Mathematics Meets Electrical Reality
Matched Propagation Technology:
• Phase Coherence: Hot/neutral/ground in perfect relationship
• Golden Ratio Spacing: 1.618 proportion eliminates standing waves
• Cardas Copper: Continuous cast for zero grain boundaries
• Multi-Gauge Design: Different frequencies prefer different gauges
• Litz Construction: Individual strand insulation reduces noise
Clear Reflection Engineering:
• Forged Copper Plugs: Not machined – forged for conductivity
• Double Shielding: Keeps noise out, doesn't radiate
• Constrained Layer Damping: Mechanical vibration control
• Controlled Flex: Maintains geometry when bent
• Direction Optimized: AC has preferred orientation
The Power Conditioning Effect:
• Reduced Common-Mode Noise: Cleaner ground reference
• Lower Differential Noise: Between hot and neutral
• Improved Current Delivery: Instantaneous demands met
• RF/EMI Rejection: Blocks airborne interference
The Sound of Properly Fed Components
Clear Reflection power cables don't add – they remove. Remove the gray haze obscuring low-level details. Remove the hardness that makes digital sound digital. Remove the compression during dynamic peaks. What remains is your component's true performance: deeper backgrounds, expanded dynamics, improved timing. This is what your gear sounds like when it's not fighting dirty power.
**"Exceptional Value in Cardas Line" – The Absolute Sound
Stereophile notes: "The Clear Reflection proves that power cables matter more than we suspected. The improvement in background silence is immediately apparent."
Hi-Fi+ confirms: "At [$750], the Clear Reflection delivers technology from Cardas's flagship cables at accessible pricing. This is the sweet spot."

Why 1.5 Meter Is Optimal
The 1.5-meter length provides more than adequate reach without excess capacitance or inductance. Shorter cables can cause mechanical stress at connections; longer adds unnecessary reactive components to the power path. This length works for components stacked or side-by-side.
The $750 Question Answered
Yes, power cables matter. The last few feet determine how 120 volts of AC reaches your component's power supply. The Clear Reflection's golden ratio geometry and Cardas copper deliver what your house wiring can't: phase-coherent, noise-free power that lets components perform without fighting interference.
