Chord Electronics Chorus 2 Interconnect Cables (XLR) 1m long. No discernible defects with these cables — the outer sheath and XLR connectors are in excellent condition. There is some light fading on the "Chord Chorus 2" branding, but that’s purely cosmetic and expected with age. They have just been in storage for 3-4 years. Back in the day, these were priced at $950 for a 1-meter XLR pair, according to Synergy Audio’s December 2008 price list (Google search: Synergy Audio Price list Dec. 2008). Condition: Excellent Payment Method: EFT, Cash Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By marlott 0
Timing doesn’t matter much here unless this is a particularly old or discontinued Chord run, because their interconnects tend to be judged more on build and condition than on fast-moving model cycles. At A$200, this looks fair to slightly attractive against the broad used market for midrange Chord interconnects, especially if it’s a cleaner, later-spec piece in genuinely excellent shape.
Chord’s appeal is the mix of solid engineering, consistent shielding, and a presentation many listeners find clean and resolving without turning analytical. If the cable is complete, unmolested, and the terminations are tidy, that condition matters more than any cosmetic fuss. For a one-metre run at this money, it’s a sensible buy for someone wanting a well-regarded interconnect without paying new-cable pricing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
