Cardas Audio Iridium Tonearm Cable - 2.0 Meter - RCA to RCA

Two Meters, RCA to RCA — the Longest Iridium Cardas Cuts

This is Cardas Iridium at two meters, sold each, RCA at both ends, and it is the longest run Cardas builds this cable in. It is for a turntable that is genuinely separated from the electronics rather than merely on a different shelf.

Length is not free in a phono cable. Capacitance rises with it, and the signal coming off a cartridge is small enough that the length of the run matters more here than anywhere else in a system. Take two meters because you need two meters, not as insurance against measuring wrong.

Star Quad, Golden Ratio Gauges, and a Jacket That Bends

Fit and Materials

Two meters, RCA to RCA, and the longest Cardas offers in Iridium. It suits a deck on a wall mount across the room, or a rack sitting well away from the turntable. Where a shorter run will reach, use the shorter run.

Inside the 0.300-inch jacket are four Cardas copper conductors at 24.5 AWG, laid up in star quad with PFA and carbon-impregnated tape as the dielectric. Cardas scales the gauges to Golden Ratio proportions and finishes the cable in soft extruded TPR.

What Reviewers Are Saying

StereoLife found that "Iridium outperforms it's price point and offers a great introduction to the Cardas sound" — the role Cardas intends it to play at the foot of its phono range.

Who Is the 2.0 Meter RCA to RCA Iridium Best For?

• Your turntable is across the room — a wall mount opposite the rack, or a deck on its own table
• The shorter lengths genuinely will not reach — measure the route before choosing this one
• Your junction box has RCA sockets — RCA at both ends
• You need the longest Cardas makes — two meters is where Iridium stops
• Your run or your sockets are different — Iridium comes in several lengths and terminations and none of them adapts to another; the full set is in tonearm cables

How Do You Fit It?

Route the cable along the path it will actually take and leave enough slack that it hangs in a loop. Seat both ends fully. Check the arm sweeps the full width of a record without the cable tugging, then connect the ground wire.

Pairs Well With

What most owners fitting a tonearm cable shop next.

• Phono preamplifiers — the other end of this cable, and the bigger variable
• Phono cartridges — the signal source everything downstream is serving
• Cartridge alignment tools — geometry first; no cable fixes a misaligned cartridge
• Tonearm cables — the other lengths and terminations in the range

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

One. A turntable takes a single tonearm cable, and this is sold each.

Does the extra length cost me anything?

Capacitance rises with length, and a phono cartridge is more sensitive to that than any other source. Two meters is worth having when the run demands it and worth avoiding when it does not.

Can the terminations be changed later?

Not without re-terminating the cable, which means undoing Cardas's own work. Order the configuration your arm and phono stage actually present.
