Clarity Cable 

Love of Music plus Good Science yield Coherent and Emotional Sounding Cables

Creating the optimum audio cable is a blend of science, testing, and art. There are no hard and fast rules by which to design a cable. The design can take many paths, but to be a success; one must know exactly where they are going. In this case the designers certainly do!

The owners of Clarity Cable, Chris and Melissa Owen, are visionaries in the field of high-end audio. Among their visions is to develop a stereo system that mimics live. They both love music and they share that passion together (and with others) within the audience of many a live concert. Melissa started her concert experience at a very early age when she attended the Woodstock Music Festival. Chris's first concert was the Guess Who (Share the Land tour) in 1970. Chris is an Electrical Engineer, who works with real world radio based industrial electrical applications on a daily basis. This realistic, down-to-earth engineering approach brings balance and insight to the design of their entire line of cables.

Balancing the scientific and artistic approach to cable design will only get you so far. True breakthrough in cable design comes largely from rigorous and relentless testing with the discerning application of those results. One must test conductors, solders, and connectors. Test primary, secondary, and tertiary dielectrics. Test the measurements. Test the electro-magnetic effects. Test the vibrational effects. Test the synergy with various reference systems using a variety of amplifier and speaker designs. Test all types of music. All of this painstaking testing pays off, if you have good ears, and your test systems are good enough to hear the subtlest of differences.

It is critical in the testing process to have very low distortion test systems. Many times, audio manufacturers make products that compensate for problems in their own test system. A distorted test system inevitably results in a distorted product. At the heart of high-end audio testing must be a very high-resolution system. Clarity Cable has access to extremely high-resolution systems, which are true world class in low noise floor, inner detail, micro-dynamics, coherency, transparency, timing, emotion, and most of all, musicality. It is in the context of these extraordinarily revealing systems that Clarity Cable designs and develops its products.

Lastly, it is critical to have "golden ears" which are accomplished at distinguishing between detail or glare, body or blare, micro-detail or brightness -- ears that are musical "Geiger Counters" for proper timing, balance, coherence, and transparency. Clarity Cable is fortunate to have access to audio guru, Mark Hampton, who is renowned for his ability to hear deep into audio systems. There are several additional "ears" that contribute to the rigorous testing program at Clarity Cable and their input is invaluable. It is very unusual to have such a team of "golden ears" involved in cable evaluation and design.

The results of creating cables from this blend of science, testing, and art results in ultra low compression, high resolution cables that will transform your listening experience.
