Offered is „Chord Company Shawline 2RCA -4DIN 1m“ by Chord Cable / The Chord Company as second-hand device from the category „Cinch Cable (Analog)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5513786457 ends on 01.11.2026 at 16:37 o'clock.
The timing is fine here: this is an established model, not a hot new release, so the main question is simply whether the asking price matches the used market. At €185, it sits well below the €257 25th percentile and far under the €328 median, so this reads as a strong deal rather than a merely fair one.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual Shawline appeal: a well-made, high-spec mains cable that’s widely regarded as a worthwhile step up from stock leads, especially in systems that respond to better noise control and improved grip. For a good-condition piece at this price, the upside is clear; just confirm length, plug type, and that it’s complete and clean, because at this level the value is already doing the heavy lifting.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
The Chord Company was founded in 1984 in Salisbury, England, born from a serendipitous dinner conversation among Naim Audio retailers visiting from the US. They sought a high-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect cable, unavailable at the time, prompting Sally Gibb—then married to a Naim executive—to propose crafting them herself. With Naim's endorsement, she launched the venture, naming it for the American term "cord" and its musical resonance, while insisting on fully British design and construction. Early prototypes were tested with Naim expertise, hand-built by friends, establishing a heritage rooted in precision and hi-fi passion from its Wiltshire headquarters near Stonehenge.
The company specializes exclusively in analogue and digital cables, spanning interconnects, speaker wires, power cords, and tonearm cables across performance tiers from entry-level C-series to flagship Leyline ranges. Unlike brands delving into amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, Chord focuses intently on signal integrity, employing advanced shielding, conductor materials, and geometry to minimize noise and preserve dynamics—catering to systems from budget setups to ultra-high-end rigs.
Renowned as a high-end boutique leader in the cable market, The Chord Company commands respect among discerning audiophiles for delivering exceptional value, transparency, and build quality that punches above its price. Its steady growth and international acclaim affirm a niche position: not vintage or mid-tier, but a go-to for upgrades that reveal system potential without ostentation.
