Angeboten wird „Cardas Golden Reference“ von Cardas Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Lautsprecherkabel“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4891356775 endet am 18.08.2026 um 15:32 Uhr.
This listing is way above the recent used Euro market for this cable, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair: €1,300 versus a comparable median of €477, with the 75th percentile at €557. Even allowing for strong brand reputation, that’s roughly 2.3× the upper quartile, so the timing only matters if this is a particularly scarce length, finish, or a near-new example with exceptional provenance.
The upside is that this is a respected power cable line, valued by fans for its robust build and the kind of low-noise, fleshier, more relaxed presentation Cardas is known for. If it’s genuinely clean, original, and complete, it can still be a satisfying buy for a system that responds well to cabling changes—but at this price I’d want proof of condition, authenticity, and exactly what’s included before treating it as a serious proposition.
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.
