Clarity
Labs
Affordable, Reference Audio Cables
for the
Discriminating Listener
With Clarity
Labs, you will not find pages of specifications or "snake
oil" marketing strategies. We are not claiming to have developed
some new undiscovered technology, but have found some interesting recipes
that have some seriously discriminating listeners wondering how we can
offer such a high quality cable at such a "real world" price. We
also realize there is no such thing as the perfect cable (no matter what
others tell you). If that were the case, there would be only one cable
manufacturer on the planet. Don't let others tell you what you should buy
or how your system should sound. Only you and [your] ears can tell you if a
cable, or any component for that matter, is right for you. This is why we
offer a 15 day, 100% satisfaction guarantee. If they don't work for you or
your system,
we'll give you your money back, all of it!!
Clarity Labs
deceased product of these cables some some time ago. Response Audio
recently purchased all remaining supplies fro Clarity Labs and now
offering the .5M and 1M Emberglow, Harvest and Moonlight interconnects on
a custom order basis.
"Emberglow"
A POPULAR COMPANION FOR TUBE AMPS
This is our
most popular cable. Originally
designed for tube amps. This cable exhibits a fast, articulate
The Emberglow is definitely worth serious consideration by those who want
to realize and experience the full potential of their tube or solid state
system.
The
Emberglow is comprised of a Silver Plated, Solid Copper signal transfer
wire, custom made High Quality / Low Mass RCA connectors and a world class Silver
solder. As with all Clarity Labs cables, the Emberglow is also a very
lightweight design with just the right amount of flexibility allowing the
cables to easily be positioned away from other interfering cables such as
power cords while adding only a minimal amount of weight / stress to the
components' RCA jacks and back panel.
After many
years of listening to various combinations of materials, braiding
techniques, solders and connectors we have found that the recipe used in
the Emberglow offers a beautiful musical presentation with a smooth upper
end that lacks any signs of harshness, a stunning lifelike midrange and tight,
clean fast bass response. Our goal here was to enhance resolution, detail
and transparency while still maintaining a good sense of texture
throughout the presentation.
What our
customers are saying:
"I thought I had
imaging before, until the "Emberglow" showed me the realism I
was missing." Greg
O, Carol Stream, IL
"Deep beautiful
bass, very uncolored natural sounding voices. No Nasty highs"
Mark W, Sayre PA.
"I was amazed by
the clarity and detail of the music. They continue to impress me every
day." Brandon
B. Kona Hawaii
"It's been one of
my best ever audio decisions. They bring a added sense of realism, very
enjoyable." Grover,
CA
"My jaw dropped
when I first played Celine Dion as the cables presented a natural and
involving realness." Thomas
F. Erie PA
"I had never before
heard the P4's single six inch woofer create such colossal bass dynamics
and slam." Chris

"Foxfire" DISCONTINUED
The
"Foxfire" interconnect is a Silver Hybrid design utilizing some
of the finest materials available.
This "Foxfire" is currently a
reference cable for many throughout the globe including being the
Reference cable here at Response Audio for the evaluation and
auditioning of all of our exclusive, custom built tube products and
modifications.
The Foxfire is now
becoming very popular among those looking for the ultimate in articulation
and upper end airiness. This cable utilizes a
high purity, solid core Silver signal wire that offers fast clean bass,
articulate yet musical midrange and a very open, airy upper end with a
soundstage you can walk into. You will be sacrificing nothing with this
cable. For those looking for a "fat" sound, this is not the
cable of choice. The Foxfire is fast and dynamic providing the end user
with a true to life presentation.
The critics agree, the
Foxfire is one of the finest interconnects available at this price point
and well beyond. It is quickly becoming a reference cable for many
discriminating listeners.
What
the critics are saying:
"This cable was
smooth and liquid with a sweet, open and airy sound. It had lots of
detail, presence and great pace and tempo to boot. The Clarity Foxfire was
our mutual first choice. No other cable in our review had the presence and
well, clarity that the Foxfire possessed."
As reviewed by: David Bardes, Vacuum Tube Valley, Issue 16
"If you've followed my
drivel over the years you'll notice I've done one cable review. There is a
reason for that. I've had numerous cables through this place and none
(exactly none) except one has sounded better than these home brews I've
concocted. The one notable exception being the Clarity Labs Foxfires. They
equaled my cables and the reason I wrote about them was because they are
really affordable."

"Harvest"
The newest addition to the Clarity
line-up. All copper construction with a high purity, solid core copper
signal transfer wire. A killer cable for both solid state and tube
systems. The "Harvest" offers a robust, full bodied presentation
without bloat or bloom. The Harvest exhibits excellent midrange and upper end qualities in both tube and solid
state systems without sacrificing any inner detail, speed, transparency or
definition.
A good choice
for those who have a system that might be on the brighter side of neutral
but do not want to sacrifice speed and articulation. Provides a very well
balanced presentation throughout.
"Emberglow"
Speaker Cables
DISCONTINUED
Clarity Labs also has the
"Emberglow" speaker cable (above) available via special order.
The Emberglow speaker cable is constructed of 4x 22 ga. (Total of 16 gauge)
Teflon coated, Silver plated, solid core copper for the positive side for
reduced skin effect and time smear. We feel the Clarity Labs speaker cable
offers excellent speed and authority in the lower regions, precision and
neutrality throughout the midrange and a non-fatiguing, detailed yet airy
upper end presentation. A very "fast" cable that will thrill
even the most discriminating listeners. We also find this cable more
airier up top than even the most expensive 12 gauge copper speaker cable. These
cables are not as "robust" as heavier gauge copper counterparts
but much faster, crisper and with more articulation. Sorry, the Emberglow
speaker cable is not a "tone control".
All lengths of speaker cables are hand assembled, tested and
burned in for 24 hours prior to shipping them to you for your listening
pleasure. Please allow up to 14 days to ship from date of order.
Terminations available are Gold Plated Banana, Gold Plated heavy duty
Spade or combination (as shown above). Available lengths: 2ft - 10ft
stereo pairs. See prices below. We do not recommend lengths over 10 ft.
