Performance
Clear Beyond Dual Phono 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, however, 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.
Standard Terminations: Cardas S-DIN to SRCA or RCA to RCA.
Hand terminated in Bandon, Oregon.
Additional Terminations: R-DIN (90° DIN plug) Retail $80.00 and CG XLR Upgrade Retail $275.00 (Please call to order).
Design/Construction
Conductors: Matched Propagation Kevlar core, ultra fine Grade 1, 99.9999% pure
OFHC copper with SPN clear coat (Litz), gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio
proportions and range from 47 AWG to 39 AWG. Cross-field layer geometry, insulated in ultra thin
extruded PTFE jacket.
Geometry: Star-Quad 4 conductors with anti-static LDPE air-tubes bound with carbon impregnated PTFE tape
wrap. Outer layer uses PTFE air-tubes scaled 1.618 times larger than the core tubes to suspend the
composite shield of tinned copper and magnet wire away from the signal carrying conductors. Finished in an
ultra soft extruded TPR jacket.
Gauge: 8x26.5 AWG
Outside Diameter: 0.511”/13mm
