Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Compared with the obvious alternative at this money — a very strong used cable from the usual high-end suspects — this asking price is ambitious. At £9,990, it sits above the 75th percentile of £9,619 and well over the median of £7,250, so it is priced toward the top of the recent GBP market rather than in bargain territory.

That said, this line is well regarded for refinement, low noise, and a more effortless, spacious presentation when the rest of the system is already up to scratch. If the cable is genuinely clean, original, and from a careful owner, there is real upside for someone chasing a final-level loom; the key question is whether the premium over the normal used run-rate is justified by condition and provenance.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About AudioQuest

Founded in 1980 by Bill Low in Irvine, California, AudioQuest traces its roots to 1978, when Low, a hi-fi store manager and avid enthusiast, began crafting superior audio cables to overcome the signal degradation he observed in existing products. Dissatisfied with subpar materials and construction, he prioritized advanced conductors like 6N copper, innovative insulation, and precise geometries, quickly earning acclaim after demos at events like the 1979 Summer CES. This passion-driven origin propelled AudioQuest from a cable innovator—first U.S. company to advance signal transmission in 1985—to a global force in high-performance audio.

While renowned for its expansive lineup of analog, digital, and AC power cables, including HDMI for video, AudioQuest has broadened into USB DACs and headphone amps, highlighted by the multi-award-winning DragonFly series launched in 2012. The brand also offers Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners, alongside custom-install solutions, all engineered to maximize system fidelity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.

AudioQuest commands a premium position in the high-end market, supplying thousands of specialist retailers across 60 countries as the dominant cable provider for discerning audiophiles. Its relentless innovation, from conductor purity to dielectric design, delivers tangible performance gains, cementing a reputation for value and musicality that serious hi-fi buyers trust.
