Offered is „Altaira-X Grounding Hub + X Ground Cable + AC Wall Ground Adapter“ by Shunyata Research as second-hand device from the category „Grounding devices“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3462154570 ends on 13.10.2026 at 21:30 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for this category, and €9,500 is well into seller-friendly territory versus the recent used median of €1,207 and even the 75th percentile of €2,473. At this level, the asking price is not just ambitious; it is several multiples above typical used market reality, so value has to come from something unusually special or effectively new.
That said, this is a respected grounding piece from a brand that’s well liked for lowering noise, sharpening image focus, and making systems sound cleaner and more “sorted.” The upside here is convenience and completeness: hub, cable, and wall ground adapter included, with the listed condition helping a bit. But unless there’s extraordinary provenance or a major bundle of matching accessories not mentioned, a buyer should expect to negotiate very hard or wait for a saner price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Shunyata Research emerged in 1997 from the vision of founder Caelin Gabriel, a former U.S. military researcher specializing in ultra-sensitive data acquisition systems. Based near Seattle, Washington, the company traces its roots to Gabriel's passion for hi-fi, sparked during his deployment in Germany, where he began exploring signal and power line interference to enhance music reproduction. This blend of scientific rigor and personal drive propelled Shunyata from modest origins into a global force in high-performance electrical systems.
The brand focuses exclusively on advanced cabling and power solutions, pioneering technologies that minimize noise and optimize current delivery. Renowned for aftermarket power cords—now legendary in design—Shunyata also produces speaker cables like the Omega series, alongside conditioners and distribution systems. These custom-engineered products serve not just audiophiles but recording studios, film production, and medical environments, where measurable reductions in distortion are paramount.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Shunyata commands respect among discerning buyers for its patented innovations, backed by over two decades of research. Gabriel holds more than ten patents, earning endorsements from mastering engineers, heart surgeons, and elite studios worldwide. For the serious hi-fi enthusiast, Shunyata represents uncompromised purity in signal transmission, elevating systems to reference levels.
