Cardas Iridium Interconnects

The Cardas Iridium Interconnects combine a Star-Quad conductor arrangement with Cardas's signature Golden Ratio copper conductors, striking a balance of detail and warmth that makes them one of the most musical interconnects in the Cardas lineup. Natural treble blended with a smooth midrange and quick bass response. Hand-built in Bandon, Oregon.

Type and Technology

Analog interconnect, shielded Star-Quad 4-conductor geometry. Grade 1, 99.9999% pure OFHC copper with SPN clear coat (Litz), gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Cross-field layer geometry insulated in FEP jacket. Conductors bound together in PTFE tape. Hybrid shield combines a spiral of tin-plated copper with carbon-impregnated PTFE tape. Finished in an ultra-soft and flexible extruded TPR jacket.

Sound Character

Natural treble, smooth midrange, and quick bass response. The Star-Quad geometry and Golden Ratio conductor stack produce a coherent and musical presentation with strong rejection of common-mode noise, detail and warmth in balance.

Build and Connectivity

Best For

Listeners who want a musical, slightly warm presentation with the Cardas Golden Ratio signature, particularly in systems where rejecting RF and common-mode noise through Star-Quad geometry is a tangible benefit.
