The Chord Company Clearway Power Cable This is a 1.5m length. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: Cash EFt Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By hugo_wilco 0 Comments AUD $200 Date: December 6, 20241 yr
This is a buyer’s market for entry-level power upgrades, and the A$200 asking price for a like-new Chord Company CLEARWAY Power cable is ambitious, sitting well above the median of A$162 and the 75th percentile of A$175 from recent AUD comps. While not outrageous, it’s roughly 15% higher than the top quartile, so you’re paying a premium for the “like_new” condition rather than getting a bargain.
The CLEARWAY remains a respected first-stage mains upgrade, praised for its dual-foil screening and high-purity copper conductors that effectively reduce noise without sounding sterile. At A$200, it’s still a solid buy if you’re upgrading from a generic cable and want Chord’s lifetime warranty intact, but only if the plug is Australian-rated and the cable is genuine UK hand-built stock. If the seller includes original packaging or a custom length, the value improves; otherwise, wait for listings closer to A$160–A$170.

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.
