Angeboten wird „Transparent XLR Balanced MusicLink Super mm 2 1.5 Meter“ von Transparent Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „XLR-Kabel (Analog)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1628835838 endet am 04.09.2026 um 14:40 Uhr.
At €650, this Transparent Audio Balanced MusicLink Super interconnect is overpriced compared to the typical used market, where the Audigon Bluebook lists a used MusicLink Super at $400 (roughly €370 today), and the current new price for a balanced version is $475 (about €440). Even accounting for the balanced configuration and potential original-owner condition, €650 sits well above the 75th percentile of used pricing, making it an ambitious ask rather than a fair deal.
The Balanced MusicLink Super is well-regarded for its low noise, tight bass, and precise midrange, delivering Transparent’s signature clarity without sacrificing warmth. If this listing includes original boxes, documentation, or is in pristine, unmodified condition from a single owner, it gains some value, but those perks rarely justify a 70% premium over typical used prices. Unless the seller can demonstrate rare, verified upgrades or included accessories that materially boost value, this is a case to wait for a better-priced example.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Transparent Audio was founded in 1980 in Saco, Maine, by audio enthusiasts Jack Sumner, Karen Sumner, and Carl Smith, who initially distributed high-end products like the Norwegian Electrocompaniet amplifiers and the iconic Well Tempered Turntable. Evolving from distribution, the company entered manufacturing in the mid-1980s, first with MIT cables before launching its own innovative line in 1993. This heritage of passion-driven innovation has defined Transparent as a pioneer in audio connectivity, with breakthroughs like patented network technology, unique cable geometries, and system-specific calibration introduced in the 1990s.
The brand focuses exclusively on premium cables and related components, including interconnects, loudspeaker cables, digital audio cables, HDMI cables, AC power cords, and power conditioners. Transparent eschews amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or headphones, concentrating instead on transmission solutions that minimize signal distortion and maximize sonic transparency. Their Reference line, debuted in 1994, established this niche, bolstered by ongoing refinements and an owner-friendly upgrade program.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Transparent commands respect among discerning buyers and professionals for delivering pristine, nuanced sound reproduction in world-class systems. Decades of awards, relentless R&D, and a reputation for pushing cable technology boundaries cement its status as a leader, where cables are treated as equals to components themselves.
