A Legendary Cable in the Making
Cardas Audio created another legend in the making with its long anticipated Parsec speaker cable. Parsec features Kevlar-core Star-Quad 4 conductors made of Cardas Grade One copper.
Parsec replaced the venerable Quadlink speaker cable, offering improved performance, appearance, and flexibility, at a similar price point to Quadlink, which was an award-winning Cardas bestseller for years.
Boasting a superb balance of characteristics, Parsec features the classic Cardas midrange, quick bass, rich harmonics, and a naturally extended top octave. It works great with virtually any speaker, including bi-wire designs.
"The Best Copper on the Planet"
Parsec features conductors made with Cardas Grade One copper, which George Cardas calls "the best copper on the planet." This copper is mined in Arizona, then shipped to a New England factory where it is very S-L-O-W-L-Y drawn into conductors in a process that includes reduction annealing between steps to further purify and meld the copper into what George calls "the most amazing audio conductor I have ever experienced."
Design and Construction
Parsec's advanced conductor design boasts a Kevlar core, Cardas Grade One 99.9999% pure oxygen free copper with an SPN clear coat (Litz), and gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. It uses braided Cross-field layer geometry, insulated in a PTFE jacket.
Star-Quad 4 Conductors
A nylon air tube conductor core is surrounded by anti-static fibers, and Star-Quad 4 conductors with PTFE air-tubes bound together in FEP tape. Parsec has a flexible TPR outer jacket.
Four 15.5 AWG Conductors
Four 15.5 AWG conductors featuring Cardas Grade One Copper contribute to Parsec's high performance. Parsec has a 0.5" outer diameter.
