Tchernov Cable CLASSIC XS MK2 Interconnect Cables (RCA) TCHERNOV Classic XS Mk2 RCA cables at 1m long, these are premium construction and technology, Russian aerospace & Military production. Part of a collection of gear I am clearing for an old client who has to downsize his audio in a big way. Purchased late 2022, has sat in the box unused but marked as mint due to age. I have a few Classic RCA IC's that have been sitting around unable to be used due to life changes. The Classic XS MkII IC is a startling design that incorporates the enlarged 0.75 mm² BRC conductors and the advanced CAFPE®/
Tchernov’s Classic line is the brand’s beloved entry-to-mid tier, known for delivering rich, musical warmth without the cost of their flagship series, and the MK2 update refined that signature with better shielding and clarity. At A$650 for a like-new pair, this is a strong deal: it sits well below the A$750 used listing for the same MK2 interconnects and roughly 40% under the A$1,590 original retail, putting it in the bargain territory for this model.
These cables are well-regarded for adding body and harmonic detail to vocals and instruments while maintaining tight bass, making them a favorite for upgrading budget systems without breaking the bank. The like-new condition and the MK2’s improved noise rejection mean you get near-new performance at a fraction of the cost, with no known failure points or age concerns to worry about at this price. This is a clear buying opportunity for anyone wanting serious musicality without the flagship price tag.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Tchernov Cable emerged from Russia in 1997, founded by Petr Chernov Sen as the nation's first specialized brand for HiFi and video cables. Serial production began in 2002, drawing on Russia's storied manufacturing heritage in aviation, space, and military industries, with facilities like Chuvashcable in Cheboksary and a design bureau in Mytishi handling core production. All copper cables, except HDMI and USB variants, are crafted in these high-precision Russian plants, terminated in Moscow, and fitted with Taiwan-sourced connectors tailored to Tchernov specifications.
The brand focuses exclusively on cables, spanning interconnects, speaker cables, and AV lines organized into streamlined series—Junior, Original, Special, Classic, Reference, and Ultimate—for clarity in selection. Multistrand copper designs incorporate multilayer shielding with damping and antistatic properties to minimize interference, emphasizing proprietary technologies and top-grade Russian copper for superior signal integrity.
Tchernov occupies a respected niche in the high-end cable market, prized by audiophiles for exceptional clarity, balance, and low noise floors, even in entry models. Positioned as a boutique contender against global giants, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking Russian-engineered precision without excess complexity, though counterfeit warnings underscore the need for authentic sourcing.
