Another great sounding QED USB A-B Hi Res cable. Bought New. Compared it with many other expensive cables like Curious Evolved, QED Signature, Wireworld Starlight 8, Audioquest Carbon USB cables with not much difference.Standard postage: $10
This is a buyer’s market at the moment: at A$130, the asking price sits below the A$152 median and comfortably inside the lower half of the recent AUD comp set, though not down at the A$86 25th percentile. That makes it a fair-to-good buy rather than a steal, with enough room to feel sensible if you want one now.
QED’s Reference USB cables are generally well-regarded for clean, low-noise digital transmission and solid build quality, so the value here is in getting a reputable, properly made cable without paying new-retail money. The upside is best if the length, connectors, and overall condition are tidy, since used cables are mostly about confidence in termination and wear rather than hidden electronics.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
QED: British Audio Cable Pioneer
Quality Electronic Design was founded in 1973 by Bob Abraham and Ian Vine, establishing itself as a British specialist in audio and AV connectivity. The company emerged from a philosophy that cables deserve serious engineering attention—a radical notion at the time. QED's landmark 79 Strand cable, released in the mid-1970s, became widely recognized as the world's first specialist loudspeaker cable and fundamentally shifted industry perception by demonstrating that cable design could measurably impact audio performance.
QED's product portfolio centers on audio and audiovisual cables and connectivity solutions. The brand has built its reputation through rigorous engineering principles, extensive measurement protocols, and computer-aided design techniques applied across speaker cables, interconnects, and related components. This scientific approach has earned the company numerous industry awards and established it as the market leader in premium cable design.
Positioned in the high-end and mid-tier segments, QED commands respect among knowledgeable audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts who prioritize technical rigor and proven performance. The brand occupies a unique space as both a heritage player with five decades of innovation and a contemporary technology leader. QED remains headquartered in the UK and maintains distribution internationally, appealing to buyers who view cables as legitimate audio components worthy of investment rather than commodity items.
