The Cardas Iridium interconnect cable replaces the well-known Cardas MicroTwin. It is one of the most affordable cables from the manufacturer. This one is completely manufactured in the United States, in the production unit of Bandon, in Oregon.
CARDAS IRIDIUM: CONDUCTORS
As always with Cardas, the conductors are made of Litz wire, here in pure copper, 4 conductors 0.5 mm in diameter each.
CARDAS IRIDIUM: SHIELDING AND CONNECTORS
The insulators of this Cardas Iridium are made of PPFE. The shielding is obtained thanks to a PFA and carbon layer. RCA connectors are GRCM type and XLR original Neutrik.
CARDAS IRIDIUM: TEST AND LISTENING
Listening to this interconnect cable clearly promotes overall balance. The manufacturer has subtly dosed enough material while maintaining transparency and a high level of precision.
We find the tone quality of the Cardas cables associated with a superb presence and a beautiful fullness.
The mid-woofer is superb by its presence and articulation. The tweeter shows a nice sweetness, without ever falling into a dark restitution. This bias enables emotion and realism on the voices.
In addition, there is a superb soundstage and a robust bottom of the spectrum.
Highly recommended!
