Clearview Double Helix

About the Clearview Double Helix

The Mapleshade Clearview Double Helix Speaker Cable is a top-tier audiophile cable designed for ultimate speed, transparency, and minimal coloration. It uses ultra-thin, single strand, high purity copper conductors that are drawn, tempered, silver-plated, and heat-treated to Mapleshade's specifications. The cable features a proprietary double helix field-canceling configuration with a unique grounding and shielding scheme to minimize signal interaction and electromagnetic interference. Its insulation is an ultra-thin polymer film selected by ear for minimal dielectric loss, significantly reducing harshness and smearing common in thicker cables. The cable is directional and includes color bands to maintain correct orientation. Independent listening tests have shown it outperforms well-known cables costing five to ten times as much, including MIT, Transparent, Nordost, and Audioquest. The Plus version undergoes additional cryogenic and electromagnetic treatments to enhance musical qualities. The Double Helix 2 version improves copper purity, insulation quality, and twist tightness for even better field cancellation and sonic clarity.
