Brand new unused set of these excellent, value for money models, in the transparent audio speaker cables range. Latest generation 6 models 3 metres pair with spades on both ends. Boxed – new
£850 is a strong buy against your own comps: it sits just below the £856 25th percentile and under the £858 median, so this is priced slightly better than the typical recent used listing. For a niche cable like this, that’s the kind of gap that makes the listing worth moving on rather than waiting around.
Transparent’s 3M interconnects are well regarded for a clean, low-noise presentation and a very resolving but not overly etched character, so the main appeal is getting that system-upgrade transparency without stepping into new-retail pain. With condition marked unknown, the only real check is basic: confirm the plugs are solid, there’s no corrosion or damage, and the length is exactly what you need; if it’s complete and tidy, this looks like a sensible pickup.
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.
