Clarity Cable Review

audioquest4life, I cannot post links here, as it seems to be a violation of the reviewer agreement for participation on this site. I find that interesting, given that it seems manufacturers and distributors have posted links, at least in my recollection. 

In brief, I requested continuing use of the Clarity Cables after the review; that was in 2011. I still use them the most in all systems. I still haven't found any cable that I have returned to as repeatedly as Clarity Cable. I have used them in dozens of reviews and personal systems. I also have used them often introduced into a system with cables that have a niggling problem. They are the single most beneficial cable brand I have used. I do not care if Clarity Cable uses these comments for their promotion, as this is authentically my experience. 

If they did not perform admirably over time they would have been long gone. Even if I have privilege of ongoing use for review purposes, I do not hold on to equipment and cables that I do not care for the sound of, or that have been outdone by other products. In that respect I am distinct from many reviewers who are willing to accept products as their "reference" even though compromised, because they can use them for free. 

Of the dozens of cables I have handled in the many years in this hobby, and reviewing for 13, the Clarity Cables strike my ears as fundamentally correct. That is so for all their wares, power cords, interconnects, speaker cables, and USB cable. I continue to try different cables over time, but the Clarity Cables remain. 

Of course, you should not anticipate that the pricing indicated in the review from 2011 would still be in effect. 

Doug,

Thank you. That’s a testament to the performance of those cables, especially since you seem to gravitate back to them in all of your reviews. BTW, I liked your review of the Pureaudio Project Classic Trio speakers. Excellent write up. 

audioquest4life, thank you for the complement. I put a lot of time into my reviews. I try to make them worthwhile reading in terms of tips for enhancement for the owner. 

My room is a "perform or die" environment. If a product does not hold it's spot in terms of earning its keep, it's gone. 

My latest article is also an OB speaker, the Tri-Art Series B 5 Open, along with other Tri-Art components and cables. FYI, as nice as the Tri-Art cables are for the system cost, I replaced them with the Clarity Cables as an upgrade to the sound. The Tri-Art cables are very suitable to the system, but as with all systems, enhancements can be made. 

The Clarity Cables may be the longest held product I have. 

I feel is time to chime in on the Clarity Cable "Vortex" power cable. I received the cable a little more than week ago and feel confident after 275'hrs or so letting it settle in on my PS Audio Dectet replacing an PS Audio AC12 I just can't get over on just how flat out  outstanding it sounds. I wanted to take my setup to the next level and a revisit to powercables is my place to start. I tried two of Shunyata's cables first Venom NR10 and then the Delta NR both of which are fine cables but not for me, my next cable to try out was going to be the AQ Thunder  but the Vortex for the lack of a better word has ended my search dead in its tracks with a more than peaked interest in the other offerings.

I'm not sure how this cable is not on the very top of anyone's list to demo!

jdub39,
"I'm not sure how this cable is not on the very top of anyone's list to demo!" I think some have tried them and didn't like them. I'm sure there are some that will never consider them because they don't cost enough. I've been guilty of overlooking components due to cost, but not anymore.
