2.4 meter in length with US plugThe NBS Black Label ll A/C power cable with US plug is an ultra-high end audiophile power cord by NBS Cables designed for maximum system resolution, dynamic range, and neutrality, historically retailing upwards of $6,000 to $9,000 depending on the length.
A$2,000 is clearly ambitious against the local used market: it sits well above the A$1,495 75th percentile and nearly double the A$989 median, so this is not a bargain. The upside is that this is a genuinely high-end power cable with a strong reputation, and if the listing is complete and genuinely clean, it will still appeal to buyers chasing top-tier mains performance rather than value.
That said, the price needs either exceptional condition, rare termination length, or original packaging/provenance to feel justified. Without those extras, buyers should treat it as a “buy the product, not the asking price” listing and push for a meaningful discount.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# NBS Audio Cables
NBS Audio Cables was founded in the mid-1990s by Walter Fields, a designer and entrepreneur based in Edina, Minnesota. The company's name stands for "Nothing But Signal," a philosophy that has guided its product development from inception. While specific founding details are limited in available sources, the brand has maintained continuous operations for over three decades, establishing itself as a Made in USA manufacturer with a European distribution presence.
NBS specializes exclusively in audio interconnects and speaker cables, positioning itself firmly within the high-end segment. The company's design approach emphasizes signal retrieval rather than sound coloration, employing solid-core copper conductors with unconventional silver shielding to minimize radio frequency and electromagnetic interference. Their cable lineup ranges from entry-level professional models to ultra-premium offerings like the Professional IV speaker cables, which retail at premium price points reflective of their market positioning.
NBS occupies a niche but respected position in the high-end audio market, particularly among discerning audiophiles and valve equipment enthusiasts. The brand has garnered positive reviews in specialized publications and maintains a loyal following among those who prioritize signal purity and minimal noise floor. While not a household name, NBS commands respect within boutique audio circles for its uncompromising engineering philosophy and commitment to domestic manufacturing, appealing to buyers willing to invest significantly in cable quality as a critical system component.
