The Cardas Clear: Where Mathematics Becomes Music

When George Cardas introduced the Clear in 2010, it represented the culmination of three decades spent pursuing a singular obsession: the perfect cable geometry. Not content with "good enough," Cardas applied Golden Ratio mathematics—the same proportions found in nautilus shells, galaxies, and musical harmonics—to create a cable that doesn't just transfer signal but preserves the very soul of the performance. The Clear became an instant classic, earning more awards and accolades than any cable in high-end audio history.

From his Bandon, Oregon laboratory overlooking the Pacific, George Cardas personally oversees the creation of every Clear interconnect. These aren't assembled; they're crafted by technicians who've spent years mastering the intricate geometry that makes Clear cables legendary. Each conductor sits in perfect mathematical relationship to its neighbors, suspended in air-tube dielectrics that eliminate the smearing and compression plaguing conventional designs. The result is a cable so transparent, so devoid of its own character, that listeners consistently report hearing their music collection anew.

The Clear represents more than just Cardas's flagship—it's the cable that established a new reference point for the industry. While others chase exotic materials and mystical claims, Cardas pursued mathematical truth. The Golden Ratio scaling doesn't just reduce resonance; it eliminates it at the quantum level, creating a conductor geometry that cannot support standing waves or time-domain distortion. This is why Clear cables sound different—not colored, not enhanced, just absent. They remove themselves from the equation so completely that what remains is pure music.

The One-Meter Advantage

The 1.0-meter length represents the theoretical ideal for interconnects—long enough for practical equipment placement, short enough to maintain absolute signal purity. At this length, the Clear's Matched Propagation technology shines, ensuring every frequency arrives simultaneously at the destination. This temporal coherence creates the uncanny soundstage depth and instrumental separation that makes Clear cables instantly recognizable to experienced listeners.

The balanced XLR configuration takes full advantage of the Clear geometry, with separate conductor groups for positive, negative, and ground. This true balanced operation, combined with Cardas's proprietary shielding, creates a noise floor so low that micro-details emerge from what was previously silence. The music doesn't get louder; the silence gets quieter, revealing layers of information that were always there, just masked.

"The Reference by Which Others Are Judged"

"The Clear doesn't sound like anything—that's its genius. Music flows with an ease and naturalness that makes you forget about cables entirely. This is the reference by which all others must be judged." - The Absolute Sound

"George Cardas has achieved something remarkable with the Clear. The soundstage opens up, instruments separate, and timing becomes absolutely locked in. The midrange magic Cardas is famous for reaches new heights." - Stereophile

"After inserting the Clear interconnects, I heard space between notes I didn't know existed. The silence between sounds became as important as the sounds themselves. This is what high-end cables should do—reveal everything, add nothing." - 6moons
