Cardas Audio Parsec Headphone Cable I am selling my Cardas Parsec Audiophile Grade Balanced Headphone Cable. Purchased from Addicted to Audio. Incredible sounding cable, smooth, open, detailed and transparent. As new condition, comes complete with original packaging. Barely used due to having a longer version of the same cable which I prefer. 1.5 Meter, XLR to Dual 3.5mm, suits any headphones that use 3.5mm jacks. RRP = $270 Only asking $130 Item is located in Coburg North. Feel free to ask questions. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pickup Region/State:
At A$130, this sits well below new pricing, which is around A$610 from local retail, and it’s also comfortably under the kind of open-box price you see on the used market, so this reads as a strong buy rather than an ambitious ask. For a Cardas headphone cable, that is a very sensible entry point if you actually need the right termination and length.
The appeal here is straightforward: Cardas cables are widely liked for a smooth, slightly warm, non-fatiguing presentation, and the Parsec line adds better shielding and refinement over older Cardas headphone leads. If the cable is genuinely like new and includes the right connectors for your headphones, the upside is solid—just make sure the termination and length match your rig, since that matters more than cosmetics on a cable like this.
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.
