Did anyone hear the Cardas "Clear Beyond"...


in the Merlin room@CES?

basic pricing is as follows, based on my notes: Speaker Cable is about $4500 for an 8' pair of "Clear" and double that for "Clear Beyond". Clear Beyond can be internally bi-wired, while Clear cannot (Clear Beyond is 4 double conductors rather than 2). If bi-wiring is required, a shotgun, external bi-wire run of "Clear" should be the way to go (and presumably would cost about the same as Clear Beyond).

Interconnect pricing is significantly lower, being about $1800 for a 1-meter single ended (RCA) pair, and about $2150 for 1-meter balanced (XLR) pair.

From my conversation with George, he could not be more enthusiastic about his achievements with the Clear lineup. There probably will be a power cable incorporating the technology of Clear, but don't look for it in 2009. Hope this helps.
The clear is actually 4 conductor cable (Beyond is 8) but the conductors are configured as mirrored coaxials to common mode forces in the cable. I think a bi-wire Clear is in the works.
George and Colleen were kind enough to give me a pair of Clear Beyond cables and interconnects to try out. They are truly magnificent, the best I have heard yet. It's hard to imagine George developing anything that will better the performance of the Clear Beyond.
Armita, with all manufacturers there seems to be a breakthrough improvement of performance when sales of the current line decline. Have you noticed that? :-)
