Esprit Eureka Master Clock Cable – Handmade in France

Richard Cesari says the assembly of a clock cable counts as much as its materials. You can have the finest conductors in the world, he says, but if a clock cable is assembled approximately, you lose everything.

The Esprit Eureka Master Clock Cable is a BNC cable for master clock links from Esprit's Eureka range. Esprit hand-builds the Eureka clock cable in Confolens, Charente, in 1 and 1.5 m and in 50 or 75 ohm.

The idea

Esprit sees Eureka as a decisive step, the range in which advanced filtering and stabilization reach every link, the Eureka clock cable included. Its description of the range mentions very high conductor density, dielectrics chosen to suit each application, and air and Nomex insulation, the framework in which the Eureka clock cable is built. Eh 200 connectors complete the Eureka clock cable. Richard Cesari has been making cables since 1996, and the Eureka clock cable carries three decades of that work.

Made in Confolens

Esprit's team designs and assembles the Eureka clock cable by hand in its workshop in Confolens, Charente. Richard Cesari insists that assembly counts as much as materials, so each Eureka clock cable is checked at every stage of the work. The first complete check of the Eureka clock cable is made by the person who built it, and nothing moves on until it has been validated.

Listening

Esprit promises exceptional silence in operation from the Eureka clock cable, with greater separation between the planes of the stage, remarkable precision and a rarely reached realism.

The Eureka clock cable uses Esprit's own Eh 200 connectors, fitted to BNC, since Esprit designs a connector as an extension of the conductor itself. Inside, the Eureka clock cable uses a pure copper and pure silver star-quad construction, insulated in polyamide imide rated to thermal class 200°. Esprit specifies the shielding of the Eureka clock cable as multilayer full shielding, non-floating progressive shielding. Its conductors are pure silver and pure copper, a choice Esprit makes in the Eureka clock cable for conductivity rather than for show.

Where it fits

The Eureka clock cable is level 7 of Esprit's nine, above Lumina and below Gaia. Order the Eureka clock cable in 50 or 75 ohm, whichever your equipment specifies, and in 1 and 1.5 m.

Specifications

Questions

How does the Eureka clock cable differ from the Lumina clock cable?

The Eureka clock cable sits one level above the Lumina clock cable. Compared with the Lumina clock cable, the Eureka clock cable uses a pure copper and pure silver star-quad geometry.

How does the Gaia clock cable compare with the Eureka clock cable?

The Gaia clock cable is the next level up from the Eureka clock cable. Where it differs from the Eureka clock cable, the Gaia clock cable uses Eh Ag connectors in place of Eh 200, a pure silver star-quad geometry and pure silver conductors.

Which connectors does the Eureka clock cable use?

The Eureka clock cable uses Esprit Eh 200 connectors with BNC. Esprit has developed several connector generations so that each range, the Eureka clock cable included, has an interface matched to it.

Should I choose 50 or 75 ohm for the Eureka clock cable?

Choose the impedance your equipment specifies for that connection; the Eureka clock cable is made in both 50 and 75 ohm versions. If the manuals are unclear, send us the model names and we will help you check before you order the Eureka clock cable.

What does the Eureka clock cable cost?

The Eureka clock cable is $5,499 for 1 m and $6,899 for 1.5 m. Sales tax is included in the price of the Eureka clock cable, and we deliver it free anywhere in the USA.

Where is the Eureka clock cable made, and when will it ship?

Esprit builds every Eureka clock cable by hand in its workshop in Confolens, France. The Eureka clock cable usually ships in about 2 weeks, with free delivery anywhere in the USA and sales tax included in the price.
