Offered is „Transparent Ultra XL“ by Transparent Audio as second-hand device from the category „Speaker Cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7439854874 ends on 15.10.2026 at 10:26 o'clock.
Transparent Audio’s ULTRA sits in the brand’s upper-tier cable line, so this is a serious piece rather than a casual upgrade. At €1,100, it lands a little above the €958 median but still inside the typical used range signaled by the €761 to €1,367 spread, so this reads as a fair asking price rather than an overreach.
That makes it interesting if the length, terminations, and cosmetics are right, because these cables are valued for low coloration, strong resolution, and a very clean sense of timing and spatial separation. A good-condition example is the kind of buy that rewards a revealing system, and at this level the main checks are straightforward: confirm exact version, connector quality, and that both channels are clean and intact.
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.
