Cardas Audio at AXPONA 1/2

Information about avoiding counterfeit cables, the value of a certificate of authenticity, warranty cards, authentication service. There are many counterfeit cables on the market. This page should help you avoid them. Top Counterfeits Counterfeit Cable Info Certificates of Authenticity Authentication Service Counterfeit Cables We're proud that Cardas cables retain high resale value, even years after their production. But unfortunately, some unscrupulous opportunists prey upon unsuspecting consumers by selling counterfeits of our cables. Some of these fakes are remarkably well done, visually, and even come in authentic looking packaging. Others barely try, slapping "Cardas" on cables that don't look like anything we've ever made. This is a buyer-be-ware situation. Some buyers are able to return their counterfeit products for a refund. But most are left without recourse. Frequently Asked Questions About Counterfeits: How can I identify c ounterfeit s from authentic cables on the second-hand market? Work at Cardas Audio for at least 10 years 😁. Our long-term employees can usually spot a fake about as fast as a mother can recognize her own child. Assuming you don't work here (and statistically, you probably don't), avoid AliExpress . They pretend to have a mechanism for reporting counterfeits, but it is littered with dead links and buttons that can't be clicked. More trustworthy sources of second hand gear are Audiogon in the US and Canuck Audio Mart in Canada. Fakes rarely show up on these sites, and when they do, they're both quick to remove them. There are probably trustworthy audio-focused sites in other countries. If you know of one, send us a link. If it looks good to us, we'll list it here. And of course, consider buying from a Cardas dealer. Many of our dealers take trade-ins, and might have pre-owned cables. Are some cables mo re counterfeited than others? Yes. The two most commonly counterfeited Cardas cables are Hexlink and Clear Light. Hexlink was a flagship cable from many years ago. There were many iterations, all using the word "Hexlink". It is, by far, the most faked cable. So much so that the majority of listings for Cardas Hexlink cables are fraudulent. The counterfeiters have produced more fake Hexlink than we ever made of the real thing. Clear Light is a more recent cable, and for whatever reason, is now quite commonly counterfeited. And whereas Hexlink fakes stand out (to us) like a sore thumb and can almost always be identified from pictures, Clear Light fakes are really well done (on the outside. Inside is garbage wire), including authentic looking packaging and documentation. Be very cautious when considering the purchase of any cable labeled as Hexlink or Clear Light. And be very cautious when the price seems too good to be true. A recent search of eBay for "Hexlink" revealed hundreds of fakes with "Buy It Now" prices of around $50 USD, and one authentic cable with an asking price of $700. You can guess which one is real. What sort of wire is inside counterfeit cables? Bad wire. We've taken apart many counterfeits, and what we find is just hardware-store wire, at best. It doesn't even appear to be up to OFHC or OCC standards, much less Cardas Ultra Pure Grade 1 standards. Why don't you do something to stop the counterfeiters? We have worked lawyers to fight the problem. We've scoured the internet to find & report counterfeits. We've happily checked links submitted by people considering second-hand cables, and told them whether the cables seem authentic or not. And we have this page on our site. There isn't much more we can do. Be cautious when buying second hand cables from private parties, or non-Cardas dealers. Be skeptical when cables are being sold far below market value. Even a long discontinued product such as Hexlink should command $300 to $600 or more for an interconnect or speaker cable. And it won't look shiny & new. It was made at least 20 years ago. It's going to show some wear. If you see a "Hexlink" cable for $30 to $60 and it looks fresh off the production line... it's fake. Countefeit Certificates / Warranty Cards New Cardas Cables come with a numbered certificate / warranty card. Re-terminated cables are issued a new card, which supersedes the cable's original card . The primary function of this numbered card is to track quality control issues with new or recently serviced cables. If a customer receives a cable that has an issue (which is exceedingly rare), the number on the card helps us track down the production date and batch number. Second hand cable buyers often inflate the significance of these warranty cards. While it is nice to buy a used product that comes with all of the original materials, please know that a numbered piece of paper does not guarantee that the accompanying product is authentic. As with any Certificate Of Authenticity, its only value is to the person to whom it was issued. If you purchased an historic artifact or a baseball card that came with a COA, you still wouldn't have full confidence in the item until you submitted it to an authority and received your own COA. Our point is to remind second-hand buyers that while receiving a COA with your cable is better than not, it is not a promise of authenticity. We have seen cables offered for sale (and even received them for inspection) that were obvious counterfeits, yet were sold with a numbered certificate. If you have a second-hand cable and you have concerns , read below about how you can receive your own COA. COA Authentication Service If you have a second hand Cardas cable, you can send it to our facility for inspection. There is a $25 charge, and if your cable passes inspection, you will receive a new warranty certificate along with your returned cable. Please note that cables found to be counterfeit will be indelibly marked or branded as such before being returned. We suggest you only use our authentication service if you are 99% sure that what you have is a genuine Cardas cable, and you just want additional peace of mind. If you are even slightly suspicious that your cable is fake, your best bet is to return it to the seller for a refund. If you'd like to send your cable in for authentication, please obtain a Return Authorization Number by clicking the button below. You are welcome to send us pictures via email of your cable before you send them in. We can't guarantee authenticity from pictures, but we can often identify fakes in this manner, and save you the hassle of sending them in. Return Authorization Form Authentication

High quality audio adapters. RCA to XLR, 1/4" to RCA, 6.355mm to RCA, and many other options and custom adaptors are available. Adaptors High Quality Solutions To Connectivity Issues Adapters Adaptors We make nearly any audio adapter for which connectors exist. Our most popular are RCA/XLR adapters. However we make many other varieties. Since our adapters are made to order, custom wiring configurations are always possible. Our standard adapters use Cardas connectors when possible, mated with Neutrik XLRs. Our premium Clear adapters use all-Cardas parts. A few notes about adaptors: 1. The standard for female XLR to female RCA adapters is for pins 1 & 3 not to be shorted. All other adaptor configurations (male XLR to female RCA, etc.) have pins 1 & 3 shorted unless otherwise requested . Most equipment prefers (or requires) adaptors with the standard wiring. Some equipment requires that pins 1 & 3 not be shorted. Your owners manual should tell you if such an adaptor is required. Cardas Audio does not have a list of equipment that requires and/or does not require that your adapters have pins 1 & 2 shorted . Only your manual, or the manufacturer, can answer that. 2. Adaptors can vary in appearance depending on when they are made. We do not update our images for every subtle aesthetic variation. Please do not rely upon photographs on this page or on a dealer's page to determine if your adaptors are genuine Cardas. Simply purchase your Cardas adaptors from an authorized dealer , and rest assured they are authentic. Our authorized dealers do not sell counterfeits. 3. Only use adaptors if they are absolutely necessary. If your streamer has RCA outputs and your pre-amp has RCA and XLR inputs, do not use an adapter so that you can use your pre-amp's XLR inputs. There is nothing magical or special about XLR connections. If you can connect your compoents RCA to RCA, do it. If you have to connect an RCA-only component to an XLR-only component, congratulations, you are one of the few people who actually needs an adaptor. Below is a list of our most commonly requested adapters. If you don't see what you're looking for in the list, we can probably make it anyway. As long as the connectors exists, Cardas can make an adapter out of them. Just inquire with our tech support team .

Clear Beyond "A friend brought his Clear Beyond speaker cable over and insisted I try it with my Alexx V’s. I was reluctant. I was using the ‘correct’ cable (according to my dealer) for the speaker. But to appease my friend, I gave the Cardas cable a try. I was immediately blown away. I lost no detail, but gained so much body and fullness. I had no idea what these speakers were capable of. I’m now the proud owner of my own pair of Beyonds and I’ve never listened to my system so much.” -S. Richards, Lake Forest, IL Presented by Tamala Francis, Founder & CEO at Francis & Co.

Distributors FAQ Dealer / Distributor FAQ Can I buy directly from Cardas? All sales are handled through our dealer & distributors. We provide tech support directly, but we do not sell directly. Why can't I just buy direct? There are a couple answers to this question. For one, we're a manufacturer. We excel in that endeavor. We have the people in place to handle every aspect of manufacturing. We do not, however, have the additional staff necessary to properly handle every (or any) aspect of retail sales. If we did sell directly, we would not be able to provide a satisfactory - or even acceptable - level of customer support. That's what dealers do. Secondly, if you've heard of Cardas Audio, it's because of our dealers. Maybe not directly. We're not saying that a Cardas dealer told you about Cardas Audio. But our worldwide network of dealers and distributors don't just sell our products, they promote them. They evangelize for Cardas. If you've heard of Cardas Audio, it's because our company has survived, and thrived, for over 35 years, thanks to the enthusiastic support of our dealers. To cut them out of the loop now that we have a longstanding reputation in the industry would be unethical, and ungrateful. And that's not the Cardas way. Do Cardas dealers have what I need in stock? Possibly. But maybe not. We make nearly 40 distinct cable products. Each available at any length. And each available with several (if not unlimited) connector options. Our offerings are quite nearly infinite. The likelihood of any dealer having exactly what you need in stock is pretty slim. Most of the time, cables are ordered through your dealer, and manufactured to your requirements at our factory. My local dealer says you don't (or won't) make the cable I need. They're probably wrong. We regularly remind our dealer network that we nearly never say "no". But with new dealers, and new salespeople, it's hard to make sure everybody knows how open we are to making custom cables for unique circumstances. Contact us , and we'll let your dealer know that they should never doubt Cardas Audio in any way whatsoever. My online dealer doesn't have what I need on their website. Most online dealers only list specific - and popular- lengths and termination options. If you're looking for something that isn't listed, contact them directly by phone or email, and they'll be able to take your order. If I order through a Cardas dealer, can I have the items shipped directly to me? In the US, yes. We drop-ship from our factory in Bandon, Oregon to customers' homes all the time. This saves the effort of the customer needing to travel to their dealer to pick up their products. Outside of the US, however, we ship only to our distributors. You may be able to arrange with your country's distributor (or your local dealer outside of the US) to have your product shipped to your home, but that can't be arranged directly through Cardas Audio. There isn’t a Cardas dealer anywhere near me. What should I do? We suggest contacting one of our online dealers. Here's the list . I hav e a store. Can I be a Cardas dealer? Possibly, depending on your proximity to existing Cardas dealers. You're welcome to call and talk to Brian, our director of sales, at 541-347-2484, send an email to info@cardas.com , or fill out our dealer application here . I’m a distributor outside of the US. Can I import Cardas products? Possibly, depending on whether we currently have a distributor in your country. You're welcome to call and talk to Brian, our director of sales, at +1 541-347-2484, send an email to info@cardas.com , or fill out our distributor application here . Does every Cardas dealer have access to every Cardas product? Yes and no. All of our physical dealers, aka HiFi stores, have access to the entire product line. Including parts, chassis wire, etc.. However they may not have expertise in this area, and likely don’t stock any of these types of products. A dealer that specializes in home theater installations isn't likely to have experience with Clear Beyond Speaker cable. A brick & mortar stereo store in the posh area of town might sell lots of Clear Beyond Speaker cable, but not even realize that we make & sell female RCA connectors. Likewise, our online dealers have access to our entire product line, however their websites may not list every single thing we have to offer. So you may need to call or email them directly if what you're looking for isn't on their website. For this reason, we have dedicated parts dealers, as shown at this link .

Clear Cygnus “I tried a Clear speaker cable, and it was amazing, but outside of my budget. My dealer suggested I try a pair of Clear Cygnus. Based on the price difference, I didn’t expect Cygnus to stand up to its big brother Clear. But I was very pleasantly surprised! Cygnus packs a lot of punch and tons of detail, and outperformed everything else I tried in the same price category. By a lot.” -B. Patel, Austin TX Cygnus Interconnect Cygnus Power Where To Buy << Clear Reflection Cygnus Speaker Cygnus Phono Choosing A Cable FAQ Clear SE9 MP >> Interconnect Cygnus Interconnect Clear Cygnus Interconnect benefits greatly from the latest developments in the Clear product line, including a more economical version of Clear Beyond Interconnect’s air-tube suspension. This cable replaces Clear Light and brings added performance to the table without adding much to the price. Clear Cygnus is more detailed, but also slightly richer with better low frequency performance. Clear Cygnus performs well in any system at any length, in both single ended and balanced configurations. If you want Cardas musicality but with a neutral tonal balance, look no further.

Headphone Cables Bring Your Headphones To The Next Level Around the turn of the century, Angela Cardas was an announcer at a radio station in Albany, Oregon. She used Sennheiser HD600 headphones, and due to constant abuse that headphones go through in the broadcasting world, she found herself going through cables several times a year.Finally, she said to her father, George Cardas, "Hey, you make cables. Can't you make a headphone cable for me?" So George went to work developing a headphone cable. What he came up with was not only more durable, but to her delight, it also made the headphones sound even better.That R&D project turned into the first Cardas Headphone cable. And launched what has become an entire product line here at Cardas Audio. Parsec Headphone Clear Reflection Headphone Clear Headphone Clear Beyond Headphone Adapters & Interconnects Where To Buy Parsec Headphone has all the legendary benefits Cardas is known for: richness, warmth, detail, non fatiguing, musical, etc. The cable is very flexible and the rubber jacket slides nicely without snagging your clothing.

Gauge: 8x26.5 AWG Outside Diameter: 0.170”/4.31mm Order Form Beyond Clear Beyond Headphone Cable One of our most challenging and extensive R&D projects has finally come to fruition. The Clear Beyond Headphone Cable project began due to the prodding from a handful of loyal customers who wanted to see us push the envelope, and outdo our vener able Clear Headphone Cable. This was no small task, and took several years. Clear Headphone Cable required the development of the first miniaturized concentricMatched Propagation Conductor, which presented challenges in both production and termination. Once those were conquered, we had a cable that expanded the performance of every headphone on which we tried it. But the idea of taking it to the next step was daunting. We began, naturally, by looking at ways to improve the conductor. Taking cues from Clear Beyond Interconnect, we refined the stranding and braiding, creating a finer arrangement of Grade 1 Ultra Pure Cardas Copper wire. This yielded notable improvements, but we knew we could take it further by doing something we’ve never done before - adding silver. Our all new Hybrid Metallurgy Matched Propagation Conductor features a 30 awg strand of Cardas Grade 1 Silver Wire, in addition to the many improve- ments we’ve made from the starting point of Clear Headphone Cable. Theresults are spectacular. As with Clear Headphone, Clear Beyond Headphone has two separate cables, one for each channel. Braided blue & black thread, and joined together with beautiful hardware to give it “the look” it deserves. Standard Termination: There are too many options available to list them all.

Many Cardas dealers have a spool of 101 at their shop, and if not, you can order as much or as little as you need. There is no more economical way of putting Cardas in your system than 101 Speaker! Preparing 101 is simple: 1. Cut back a couple inches of the grey outer jacket, and you'll find two 14 AWG conductors, surrounded by white cotton dielectric. 2. Cut away the dielectric, and strip about an inch of the red & black jackets from the conductor. 3. Untwist the copper wires, and you'll find a non-conductive core filament. Snip that away, and re-twist the conductor. 4. At this point, you can use it as a bare-wire cable, and insert the twisted copper into your binding posts. Or solder spades or bananas onto the ends. You can also use crimping spades with 101 Speaker.
