Selling my Cardas Audio Clear headphone cable because I no longer use it. Terminates in 4-pin XLR, is 3 metres long and was originally purchased for my Hifiman Susvara. This is Cardas Audio's 2nd best headphone cable behind their "Clear Beyond".Functionally the cable performs perfectly. Cosmetica...
A$700 is a fair price, sitting just above the A$684 median and only slightly above the A$692 75th-percentile asking price from recent comparable listings. It is not a bargain, but neither is it meaningfully overpriced; value will depend on the exact termination, length, and condition.
The Clear is a well-regarded enthusiast cable: dual-mono construction, Cardas Litz copper, flexible handling, and a generally neutral, detailed presentation with convincing dynamics. Its compatibility and connector quality matter more than small sonic claims, so confirm the headphone-side plugs, balanced or single-ended termination, cable length, and that the splitter and plugs are clean and undamaged. At this price, complete accessories and genuinely tidy condition would make it a sensible buy; visible wear or an awkward termination should justify negotiating below A$700.
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.
