Special pricing on Clarity Labs Harvest II and Harvest II-X interconnect cable throughout June 2010
 

Clarity Labs began manufacturing audio cables in 1995 with the goal being able to provide top quality cables at a real world price that would allow your system to show it's true potential.  We do not claim to be offering the "Miracle Wire", as only your ears can tell you what feels and sounds right. With that, we will not overwhelm you with pages of specs and graphs that tell you little about how our cables will sound in your system. All Clarity Labs cables are completely hand crafted and tested from start to finish. There are no machines, as this is a labor of love. Completely US made.

Many of you will remember the Clarity Labs Audio Cables that were once distributed by Response Audio. Still our best selling cables after more than 10 years and for very good reason. They offer exceptional sound quality as well as value. Sadly Clarity Labs is no longer around but Response Audio took over Clarity Labs in 2005. To this day, you will still find various Clarity Labs cabling used throughout the world as well as our showroom. We have brought back these popular cables and now in enhanced MK II versions. Clarity Labs cables continue to impress even the most discriminating listeners around the globe.

Many companies use dissimilar metals between the wire and connectors. We don't believe a silver connector belongs on a copper cable nor a copper connector on a silver cable. You will also find that all of our cables are equipped with a damping material within the connector eliminating resonance at the connector and RCA/XLR jacks they are connected to. This material also acts as an adhesive so please do not try to remove the connectors as damage will occur to the cable and will not be covered under warranty.

Please contact us for the PROPER way to evaluate audio cables.

The "Foxfire" interconnect is a true silver reference quality cable. The original Foxfire was a silver hybrid cable that was in production from 1997-2005 and is now being introduced as a MK II full silver version.

The "Foxfire II" interconnect is a full Silver design utilizing some of the finest materials available resulting in more air, extension and speed as compared to the original Foxfire Hybrid. For silver cable enthusiast, the Foxfire is the ultimate decision.

 This "Foxfire II" is currently a reference cable for many throughout the globe including being one of  the Reference cables here at Response Audio for the evaluation and auditioning of all of our exclusive, custom built tube products and modifications.

The Foxfire II is again becoming very popular among those looking for the ultimate in articulation and upper end airiness. This cable utilizes a high purity, solid core Silver wire throughout as well as Silver RCA or XLR connectors 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 II is fast and dynamic providing the end user with a true to life presentation.

The Foxfire II-X (Extreme) steps up to several runs of small gauge solid core silver wire per run for the last word in extension, air and detail throughout the entire frequency range. The Foxfire II-X has three times the amount of silver as compared to the Foxfire II.

The critics agree, the Foxfire is one of the finest interconnects available at this price point and well beyond. It quickly became a reference cable for many discriminating listeners. 

The Foxfire II is a perfect cable mate for the Basis Silver Extreme Linestage as it utilizes the same core wire for internal wiring keeping synergy in check.

What the critics are saying: (Original Foxfire)

"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."

10% off Harvest II-X interconnect cable throughout June 2010

Harvest II only $99 through June 30th - up  to 1M

The "Harvest II" was designed as a high end solid copper cable that is suited for any type of system. Solid state and/or tubes. All copper construction with a high purity, solid core copper signal transfer wire and returns with a thin Teflon dielectric to minimize skin effects. A killer cable for both solid state and tube systems. The "Harvest II" offers a robust, full bodied presentation without bloat or bloom. The Harvest exhibits silky smooth midrange and upper end qualities in both tube and solid state systems without sacrificing any inner detail, speed, transparency or definition.

The perfect all-around choice for any high resolution system providing speed and articulation. Provides a very well balanced presentation throughout and makes for the perfect choice for copper cable enthusiast.

The Harvest II Extreme (shown at right) steps up to several runs of small gauge solid core copper/Teflon wire per run for the last word in extension, air and detail. The Harvest Extreme steps up to a heavier overall gauge as compared to the Harvest II. When ordering, just ask for the Harvest II-X

The Harvest II-X is also available as a balanced cable, the Harvest II-XB, using high quality Neutrik XLR connectors.

The Harvest II is a perfect cable mate for the Purity One Linestage as it utilizes the same core wire for internal wiring keeping synergy in check.

The Harvest II-XB is a fully balanced version the Harvest II-X and utilizes multiple runs of solid core Copper/Teflon for each of the three legs. High quality Neutrik Gold XLR connector are used on the Harvest II-XB balanced cables.

 

 

Price Increase: Please note that we are almost out of our original Clarity Labs RCA connectors. Once these are gone, we will be switching to a difference RCA connector. Unfortunately, we cannot obtain these connectors anywhere near the price we paid for the very large order of the original connectors well over 10 years ago. The Harvest II interconnect cables will see a price increase once we move to the new connectors.

Harvest II Loudspeaker Cable
 

The Harvest II-X loudspeaker cable is comprised of multiple runs of solid core Copper/Teflon wire for a equivalent gauge of 16 AWG and finished off with the highest quality gold banana or spade termination. Many years of listening to various materials, gauges and braiding designs has led us to prefer an overall gauge of 16 AWG. The Harvest II loudspeaker cable uses a similar "Bella Braid" as used in our Musica Bella loudspeaker and interconnect cables. The final result is exceptional speed, detail and air as well as not exhibiting the fat, bloated and rolled off sound of garden hose loudspeaker cables.

With so many loudspeaker cables on the market these days, we had to be sure we meet the goals we set forth for all Clarity Labs cabling. Our main focus was speed, detail and definition which is exactly what the Harvest II loudspeaker cable provides.

Like the Harvest II-X interconnect, the loudspeaker cables also provides the ultimate in extension, air and detail.

Harvest II Loudspeaker Cables Available in 4ft.-8ft.  lengths only

Why only 16 gauge? It is a myth that you need speaker cables the size of a fire hose for your system to perform properly. When using a 16 AWG speaker cable, you do not have to worry about the impedance of your system (speaker load). You can run up to 12 feet of 16 AWG speaker cable into speaker as low as 2 ohms and still be well under 5% of the overall impedance. Besides, how many people own 2 ohm loudspeakers.

 

The "Emberglow II" is the latest entry into the Clarity Labs family after 2 years of critically listening to various recipes.

The Emberglow II is constructed using a unique combination of solid core Copper/Teflon and solid core Silver/Teflon wire rather than the Silver plated copper wire used in the original Emberglow for so many years.

With this unique hybrid design, the Emberglow II provides an exceptional balance of smoothness, air and detail that is noticeably a step up from the original.

High Quality / Low Mass RCA connectors and a world class RoHS Silver solder are still utilized. As with all Clarity Labs cables, the Emberglow II 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. 

The Emberglow II is also available as a balanced cable using high quality Neutrik XLR connectors.

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 MK II offers a beautiful musical presentation with a smooth upper end that lacks any signs of harshness. The air and extension of the Foxfire II with the warmth and body of the  Harvest II. Our goal here was to enhance resolution, detail and transparency while still maintaining a good sense of texture throughout the presentation.

The "Moonlight" interconnect is back and it's better than ever. The Moonlight MK II was born to tame the digital bite common in many of today's solid state components as well as to deliver soul and emotion to any tube based system. As it's name implies, the "Moonlight MK II" takes on a fuller, more romantic sound, without sacrificing speed, pace or rhythm.

All copper construction with high purity, stranded copper signal transfer and return runs. Another killer cable for both solid state and tube systems. Like the Harvest, the Moonlight MK II is constructed of 100% copper. The Moonlight MK II exhibits a smooth presentation throughout the full frequency range. Midrange and upper end qualities are superb 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 hotter side of neutral but do not want to sacrifice speed and articulation. Provides a very well balanced presentation throughout. Slightly warmer than the rest of the Clarity Labs line. Many Moonlight MK II cables are currently being used throughout our showroom all tube systems.

 

Clarity Labs cables are non-directional but it is always recommended to be consistent when
 hooking up audio interconnect and loudspeaker cables.  Please always run your Clarity Labs
cables so the signal is flowing in the same direction as the print on the heat shrink.
