Cardas Parsec Interconnect

Two 23.5 AWG copper Matched Propagation conductors with air-tube dielectric

One of Cardas' all-time bestsellers, the Parsec is neutral with a hint of warmth on top, and very transparent for a cable of this price range.

The Upscale View

It is an open secret that Cardas Audio supplies copper to some of the greatest names in high-end audio. But going far beyond creating the purest and smoothest conductors, Cardas makes a range of beloved audio cables at its facility in Bandon, OR. Cardas is quietly one of audio's few brands that are impressively true to the 'Made in America' badge. Read more here. 

Manufacturer Information

Coming in at a step above Iridium, Parsec benefits from the technology originally developed for Cardas' flagship Clear cables: Matched Propagation Conductors.

These are ultra-pure copper, Kevlar core conductors, for which George Cardas received US Patent 7,674,973 in 2010. They make possible the transparency, dynamics and holographic imaging of Clear, with a specially designed version bringing that performance to this pricepoint.

Internally, Parsec is comprised of a shielded twisted pair of 23.5 AWG Matched Propagation Conductors with poly-e air-tubes bound and carbon impregnated FEP tape wrap. The outer layer uses compressed poly-e air-tubes to suspend the tin-plated copper braided shield. The jacket is extruded Alcryn rubber.
