Offered is „RARITÄT: Ultra Extreme BLACK LABEL Music Link XLR 1,00 / 1,50 / 3,00 Meter“ by Heavens Gate Audio as second-hand device from the category „XLR-Cable (Analog)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8401868359 ends on 25.10.2026 at 11:48 o'clock.
Compared with the usual used-cable alternatives at this level, €880 lands as a solid buy rather than a bargain-bin score, but still comfortably inside the sensible market: it sits below the €977 median and well under the €1,338 75th percentile. That makes it fair-to-good value, especially for a niche piece with this sort of boutique cachet.
The appeal here is the combination of rarity and serious pedigree, which is exactly why these listings hold interest for enthusiasts chasing a specific system voicing. A clean example at this price makes sense if the length you need is included and the connectors are in good shape; for a cable like this, that matters more than hype.

Fidelity Research emerged from Tokyo in 1964, founded by Isamu Ikeda amid Japan's postwar audio boom. The company quickly established itself as a precision engineering powerhouse, focusing on analog playback components during the golden age of vinyl. Operating until around 1984, it embodied the meticulous craftsmanship that defined high-end Japanese hi-fi, with designs that prioritized sonic purity and mechanical innovation.
The brand specialized in moving-coil (MC) phono cartridges and tonearms, earning acclaim for models like the MC-202 cartridge and the iconic FR-64 and FR-66 series. These products featured advanced materials such as stainless steel and specialized alloys, delivering exceptional tracking, detail retrieval, and dynamics. While not venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or digital gear like DACs, Fidelity Research honed a narrow but masterful niche in turntable essentials.
Today, Fidelity Research holds vintage-collector status among discerning audiophiles, revered for its high-end analog prowess. Once priced at premiums like $495 for top tonearms, its gear commands cult following in the used market, prized for timeless transparency and build quality that rivals modern boutique offerings. For vinyl enthusiasts seeking uncompromised heritage, it remains a benchmark.
