Detailed Description
The festive-looking copper foil inside a skinny baggie is a Clearview ribbon interconnect. It took a lot of work for InSound and Mapleshade to improve upon our original, widely-praised Ultrathin twisted-wire design. The perplexed look on your face will evaporate the instant you hear the excitement the Ribbon adds to your music: startling energy, all kinds of new instrumental details, thunderous bass, and remarkably articulated, endless treble.
There’s much more to our interconnects than meets the eye. The 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. Each interconnect is given three separate chemical and electromagnetic treatments. Our proprietary RCA plugs are the best-sounding plugs in high-end audio (including BNCs and XLRs).
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.

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.

Amazing interconnects
I purchased the Excalibur plus ic's to use between my streamer and preamp. Prior to inserting this interconnect, my system's high frequencies were somewhat harsh and irritating and I just assumed it was the digital frontend causing the problem. After connecting the Excalibur ic's, the improvement in sound quality was nothing short of amazing. The noise floor dropped allowing me to hear more detail and deeper into the soundstage. The high frequencies were no longer harsh, but smooth and extended. Bass was very clean, detailed, extended and impactful without bass bloat. I don't understand how changing one interconnect can result in such a HUGE improvement in sound quality, but it has. The sound quality has continued to improve with break-in. I have never written a review before, but felt compelled to this time, because these Excalibur ic's are so incredibly good sounding and I am as happy as can be with this purchase.

• 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.
