Angeboten wird „Shawline X, inkl. Brücken, Sonderanfertigung 2 x 8,00 Meter!“ von Chord Cable / The Chord Company als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Lautsprecherkabel“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8398817022 endet am 12.09.2026 um 14:31 Uhr.
At €850, this used The Chord Company SHAWLINE power cable is aggressively overpriced, sitting well above the 75th percentile of €320 and nearly triple the median of €238 from recent EUR listings. Even against new pricing, which ranges from €299 for a DIN variant to roughly €349 for the EU power version, the €850 asking price demands a justification that this listing does not provide. This is not a bargain; it is an ambitious ask that ignores the clear market anchor.
The Shawline Power Chord is well-regarded for delivering noticeable noise reduction and tighter bass without the cost of Chord’s higher-tier Signature or Sarum lines, making it a sweet-spot upgrade for many systems. However, at nearly €850, you’d be paying more than double what a new unit costs, with no indication of rare length, original-owner condition, or included accessories to warrant the premium. Unless the seller can prove this is an exceptionally long or modified version, this listing represents poor value and should be avoided.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
The Chord Company was founded in 1984 in Salisbury, England, born from a serendipitous dinner conversation among Naim Audio retailers visiting from the US. They sought a high-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect cable, unavailable at the time, prompting Sally Gibb—then married to a Naim executive—to propose crafting them herself. With Naim's endorsement, she launched the venture, naming it for the American term "cord" and its musical resonance, while insisting on fully British design and construction. Early prototypes were tested with Naim expertise, hand-built by friends, establishing a heritage rooted in precision and hi-fi passion from its Wiltshire headquarters near Stonehenge.
The company specializes exclusively in analogue and digital cables, spanning interconnects, speaker wires, power cords, and tonearm cables across performance tiers from entry-level C-series to flagship Leyline ranges. Unlike brands delving into amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, Chord focuses intently on signal integrity, employing advanced shielding, conductor materials, and geometry to minimize noise and preserve dynamics—catering to systems from budget setups to ultra-high-end rigs.
Renowned as a high-end boutique leader in the cable market, The Chord Company commands respect among discerning audiophiles for delivering exceptional value, transparency, and build quality that punches above its price. Its steady growth and international acclaim affirm a niche position: not vintage or mid-tier, but a go-to for upgrades that reveal system potential without ostentation.
