Cardas Golden Ratio Stranding (Phi-Geometry Strand Counts)

Strand-count geometry developed by George Cardas where the conductor strand counts at each layer of the bundle follow the Golden Ratio (φ ≈ 1.618). The premise is that the resulting geometry minimizes resonance modes inside the conductor by avoiding any integer harmonic relationship between strand counts.

Whether the audible benefit derives from the strand-count geometry, the high-purity copper, or the construction-quality discipline that the technique requires, the resulting cables consistently measure flat and review well across decades of audiophile commentary.

A distinctive engineering philosophy among premium cable manufacturers. Compares to litz construction as a competing audiophile-cable construction approach.
