Product Description
The Cardas Audio Clear Beyond X2 phono cable has been a “secret menu item” for a while. We were asked to prepare a pair of Clear Beyond Interconnects for use with a 5-pin DIN tonearm in an extreme analog system being shown at the Munich High End Show. Then word spread, and those in the know fell in love with it. Now Clear Beyond Dual Phono has escaped into the marketplace. A single run of Clear Beyond Interconnect, with multiple shields, and eight 26.5 AWG Matched Propagation Conductors, is a top performing phono cable. Some vinyl playback systems benefit from a dual run of interconnects. That’s not a problem when your turntable has RCA outputs. But if your tonearm has a DIN connector, you’re typically limited to a consolidated phono cable.
Custom terminations including Cardas R-DIN and SME 90°DIN connections are available.
