Commercial Cardas Audio Clear Rev 1 Interconnect Cables (XLR) Cardas Clear Interconnect Rev 1 XLR 2m - Consignment Follow us on Facebook and keep up to date on Insta Pick up available in Leichhardt, NSW. Please message to book an appointment. Condition: Very Good, some text has come off braid (see photos) Includes: Cables only, no accessories or packaging Overview A current offering from Cardas using their flagship technologies, and made in the USA. Designed for use in reference level hifi systems, even the XLR connectors have been designed by Cardas in-house specifically for the Clear
Cardas’ CLEAR line has a strong reputation for high-end transparency and low coloration, so this is the kind of cable people buy to get out of the way and let the system breathe. At A$2,200, the ask is well above the recent used market in AUD: against a median of A$955 and even the 75th percentile at A$1,657, it reads ambitious, not fair.
That doesn’t make it a bad cable, just a premium-priced one. If the condition is genuinely very good and it includes the right terminations and any original packaging, the upside is owning a respected reference-level interconnect with known resale appeal; but at this price, buyers should be especially sure it’s the exact length, connector type, and sonic fit they want.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Cardas Audio traces its roots to 1987, when George Cardas founded the company in Southern California, initially operating from a family garage in Ontario. Driven by a quest to perfect audio cables, he pioneered designs using ultra-pure materials, Golden Ratio resonance control, and solutions to transmission line issues. In 1992, the operation relocated to Bandon, a coastal town on Oregon's southern shore, where it remains headquartered and family-run, with George's daughter Angela now at the helm.
The brand specializes in premium audio cables, connectors, and component parts, emphasizing handmade craftsmanship and proprietary conductor geometries that minimize noise and resonance. While cables form the core—spanning interconnects, speaker wires, and power cords—Cardas has expanded to accessories, in-ear monitors, and even music releases, with their wire integrated into high-end speakers and electronics worldwide.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Cardas commands respect among discerning listeners, recording studios, and musicians for delivering transparent, fatigue-free sound. Their products grace the finest systems, embodying American ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of sonic purity that appeals to knowledgeable buyers seeking boutique excellence over mass-market compromises.
