 Detailed Description

“I have tried several well known interconnects, but none have come near the level of the Excaliburs. It is like a blanket has been removed from the speakers and they can now perform to their true potential. Thanks for making such an outstanding product available and also for having the initiative and foresight to think outside the box and come up with a clearly superior design. your statements on their performance are not only accurate, but in my case, they exceeded my highest expectations.” - Jim R.

A large sonic step up from the Ultrathin Ribbon, the Excaliburs feature:

• higher grade metallurgy
• half the ribbon thickness
• monomolecular silver interface at the ribbon termination
• solderless connections

You don’t need to be a golden ear to hear what the Excalibur can do! There’ll be a half octave more bass. The increase in midrange detail will be really obvious. There will be extra delicacy and sparkle coming out of the tweeters. Bests the megabuck exotics like Nordost Valhalla and Audionote Sogon. 30-day money back.

Design and Performance:

• Our conductor is high purity, proprietary metallurgy, copper ribbon—much thinner than any existing cable (including competing flat-wire designs).

• The insulation is a handmade, super-thin polymer sheath for lowest dielectric absorption. The polymer is a major upgrade from the old Ultrathins.

• Each interconnect is given three separate chemical and electromagnetic treatments.

• Our proprietary RCA plugs are the best-sounding available in high-end audio (including BNCs and XLRs).

WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY BREAK-IN DEVICES OF ANY KIND ON OUR WIRES! They will seriously degrade the sound. Use only music to break in our cables. The recommended break-in period for standard Clearview Cables is 30-50 hours; 150-300 hours for cables with PLUS Upgrade. Feel free to install and listen to our cables immediately, they'll sound really good after about an hour. But you won't hear their full potential until they have been broken-in thoroughly.


THE PLUS OPTION
Another Step Up

All Clearview wires are available in a PLUS version, using conductors with our new stress-relieved metallurgy. The PLUS Option yields two primary upgrades:

• Decreases brightness and grain in high frequencies, reducing edginess in the upper treble without sacrificing detail; this is particularly noticeable with music coming from a digital source (i.e. CD players, computers, and iPods). The breathiness of singers and flutes, the metallic ring of cymbals is better articulated and less abrasive. PLUS is especially beneficial for digital interconnects sources, significantly reducing listening fatigue.

• PLUS lowers the soundstage noise floor, resulting in a quieter, more blacker background. This makes the most difference in quiet passages: held guitar or piano chords sustain longer and resonate more clearly as they fade into silence. Newly discovered details and nuances emerge from the negative space of the music on good recordings.

For fans of well-recorded acoustic music, small group jazz, or chamber music, we recommend PLUS without hesitation. Listening to typically over-processed commercial studio recording, the improvements will be audible but much more subtle.
