Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder, Rosin Flux Paste, and Cardas Contact Conditioner. They're supplies, because know, they run out. So you gotta re-supply. Solder & Supplies Roll Solder Bar Solder Flux Paste Contact Conditioner Where To Buy Quad Solder Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder Description: A proprietary blend of copper, silver, tin, and lead. Proprietary as in "please don't ask for the recipe because we're not telling, and we don't want it to get weird." No other solder flows as well, solidifies as uniformly, sounds as good or provides as durable and long lasting solder joints. There's a reason Quad Eutectic is considered the best in audio, and is widely used outside of our industry as well. Quad Eutectic Solder was developed in the early days of Cardas Audio when George Cardas realized that the available solders on the market - from hardware store grade to expensive silver-heavy solders - all had shortcomings that lead to degradation in sound quality & long-term reliability. He worked with an English metallurgist to arrive at the perfect blend of elements. The four elements in Qua d Eutectic Solder are in specific proportion to melt and solidify at a temperature lower than that of any of the component metals! Thus the resultant joint is contiguous from wire to connector rather than slurry - this provides a perfect and permanent connection that will never breakdown over time. Quad Eutectic Solder has a rosin core, and has a melting point of 350º F (177º C). Available on 1/4 pound and 1 pound spools. For soldering tips, check out our video series "Soldering With Jesus" , starring our head-terminator Jesus Ornelas. Please note: The label on Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder is changed on occasion. If you have a spool with a label that differs from what you see on this page, that does not mean your solder is counterfeit. As long as you buy from an authorized dealer , you're getting genuine Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder, regardless of the label.

It's Cardas Christmas Jacket time! Who We Are

Quadlink X speaker cable. Quadlink was based on our legendary Quadlink speaker cable, offering performance improvements. Quadlink X Interconnect Quadlink X Speaker The original Quadlink speaker cable launched in the mid 80's was one of Cardas Audio's most successful products. It stood the test of time. Quadlink X speaker was designed to offer better performance in all areas. Bigger bass, more detail, more richness. Quadlink X uses a similar geometry with a modified star-quad, larger air tubes, larger conductors, and advanced dielectrics. Quadlink X speaker is suitable for virtually any amp and speaker combination including those with difficult loads. In spite of exceeding our performance goals, Quadlink X became a victim of bad timing, as we had developed Cross speaker cable at the same time, and the two would have occupied similar price & performance points. So we shelved Quadlink X for the time being. Cross being long retired, we decided we'd release Quadlink X into the wild. The supply sold fast, with the only remaining Quadlink X being available through our dealer Music Direct . Standard Terminations: CABE banana Design/Construction: Conductors: Grade 1, 99.9999% pure OFHC with SPN clear coat(Litz), gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Cross-fieldlayer geometry, insulated in a FEP jacket.Geometry: Star-quad with teflon air tubes. PVC outer jacket. Geometry: Twisted pair with natural cotton filler bound with FEP tape wrap.

Cardas Audio produces copper using a proprietary process that results in copper that exceeds the electrical and thermal conductivity of anything else on the market, including OFHC copper and OCC copper. Cardas copper is used by other manufacturers, and in laboratories worldwide. We also produce ultra pure silver wire. Top Cardas Copper Cardas Copper A Look Below The Surface We eletrically etched three copper strands, and placed them under the microscope (standard OFC copper, Continuous Cast Copper, and our own Grade 1 C opper), to demonstrate that the perfect structure of Cardas copper continues below the surface, which leads to its superior electrical and thermal conductivity. The Story of Cardas Copper, by George Cardas. I was forced into the copper business, when a combination of recycling laws and new "improved" drawing techniques, flooded the market with cheap low grade copper. This began to force traditional plants out of business. I found an "old fashioned" plant that was closing and we began slow drawing and annealing pure copper rod in inert atmospheres. Soon we were supplying most of the specialty drawn high purity metals used in high-end audio. This formula endured for two decades. Recently a series of events lead us to the ultimate knowledge and development of our most amazing metal. Most of our metals are being sold to audio related consumers, however, several non audio customers purchased them for their own unique reasons. My relationship with two of these customers and a boost from Joe Harley (AQ) led to this break through. The first clue came from a customer who we make a custom cable for. He named it Low Thermal because it was used in accurately measuring minute DC variations without temperature induced variation. At the time, we gave little thought to metal, thinking the reason for it's superior performance was low dielectric involvement. In retrospect it is clear that the conductor was a big part of the equation. We had spent considerable time working on eddy currents in the connections, this should have been a clue. The second clue was from a customer that was using miles of fine copper strand to cool micro chips in a detector used in a cyclotron. He didn't even care if it conducted electricity! We shared the most interesting set of information. He had discovered that detectors quite removed from the collider itself were responding at distance to collisions occurring in the device. To reduce the noise in detector chips they were bonding fine copper strands to the chip substrates and immersing the strands in liquid helium to cool them. But commercial copper was loosing its thermo conductivity around 40 degrees kelvin (-387.67° F / -233.15° C). He was interested in our metal for its thermal properties! As it happens, I had just developed a very cool way of looking at strand grain structure under high magnification. I thought I could see his problem in the grain pictures. After viewing them, he agreed and was willing to help me take the next step. I had discovered by ear, that short cuts in the refining and drawing of metals degraded their audio performance. I knew that pure soft metals and meticulous attention to drawing techniques yeilded a quieter strand. For decades we have produced the lion’s share of the copper and silver for high-end audio. I now had the opportunity to better understand the problem. It seemed both our concerns related to grain structure. I had developed methods for viewing grain structure and measuring eddy currents in conductors and now I had a new perspective from a different world and everything was pointing in the same direction. There was a correlation between low temperature thermal conductivity and inter transient noise in room temperature conductors! I was pumped. I asked my customer why he thought the thermo conductivity of some copper was superior to others. He said that thermo conductivity in metals was in free electrons predominantly until about 40degrees Kelvin. At this point the free electron supply dried up and conductivity was phonetic (vibrations directly through the contiguous crystalline structure). This made sense in many ways. What we had discovered in commercial copper was a severe shredding of the crystalline structure. Basically, charges and heat flow are scattered by impurities, imperfections, and inhomogeneous metal structure. The shredding of the crystalline structure was from drawing the strand too fast and the interleaving of impurities (predominantly copper oxide). We saw that casting or extruding pure copper could change that structure. We learned that slowly drawing and annealing very pure copper resulted in less shredding and melded the metal even better. Carrying the process further, we found that using a pure steam or an inert nitrogen atmosphere, help the metal to bond during the processing. It seemed that eliminating oxygen while slow drawing and annealing produced a better structure. Once formed it seemed to self heal as long as there was no oxygen present. I decided to try somthing. We would draw and anneal even slower in a reducing (oxygen scavenging) atmosphere(hydrogen H+) to completely eliminate every trace of oxygen to allow the drawn metal to reform continuously as it was drawn and annealed. The results were beautiful! The new metal was more contiguous in the interior than on the surface. This conductor is the most grain free copper ever produced for audio purposes.
