Parsec Speaker cable features the classic Cardas midrange, quick bass, rich harmonics, and a naturally extended top octave. Parsec works great with virtually any speaker, including bi-wire. This cable evolved from Quadlink and is a mix of old and new technology found in Cardas' flagship cables.
Superb balance of characteristics
Parsec benefits from the technology originally developed for our flagship Clear cables: Matched Propagation Conductors. These ultra-pure copper, Kevlar core conductors, for which George Cardas received US Patent 7,674,973 in 2010, make possible the transparency, dynamics, and holographic imaging of Clear. George Cardas specifically designed a version of this conductor for Parsec Interconnect. And in fact, Parsec marks the first time any cable outside of the Clear range has employed Matched Propagation Conductors.
However, in addition to sharing some of the sonic characteristics offered by our flagship cables, Parsec still has the warmth & musicality that made its predecessor, Quadlink, a top seller for nearly 30 years.
Internally, Parsec is constructed around a Nylon air tube core surrounded by Anti-static fibers, a star-quad 4 conductor arrangement with PTFE air-tubes bound together in FEP tape, and a flexible TPR outer jacket.

I like the Parsec speaker cable a lot. Rate it higher for musicality as compared to the similarly priced Analysis Plus Oval 9 which had amazing detail. Only downside is that my system seems to prefer a bit beefier cable. Was a touch quirky with my digital side.
