These cables absolutely stunned me when i put them into my system. However I have a spare as I used the other one for my centre channel in my HT.It has brand new XLR ends and was properly reterminated by Cardas Audio in Bandon Oregon USA about 8 mths ago.It comes with the original warranty card. ...
If this is a current-generation or recently discontinued version, timing matters less than condition and fit, because the market for quality headphone cables is mostly about build and compatibility rather than rapid obsolescence. At A$1,500, it sits well above the A$1,038 75th percentile and looks ambitious versus the typical A$638 median, so this is not a casual buy unless the included termination, length, and condition add real value.
What keeps it interesting is that Cardas CLEAR is widely respected for its solid construction, smooth presentation, and ability to let a good headphone rig breathe without sounding brittle or clinical. A clean, complete example can be a worthwhile upgrade piece, but at this asking price the buyer should want proof of exact connector type, length, originality, and very light wear; without those, the premium is hard to justify.
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.
