Transparent The Wave Speaker Cable Gold-plated Bananas Connectors Handcrafted in the USA, 8 feet 2.4meterNot being used as I needed 3.8meters length. So I built my own cables with the length I needed.Is in very good condition.Pickup in Cremorne 2090.
At A$300, this looks markedly better than the usual pile of generic aftermarket speaker wire in the same money; against the recent used market, it sits well below the A$314 25th percentile and far under the A$789 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a stretch. For a branded Transparent cable, that’s the sort of asking price that makes sense even before you factor in how slowly quality cables tend to depreciate once the original shock of retail pricing is gone.
The upside is straightforward: these are well-regarded for clean build quality, sensible termination, and a neutral, low-drama presentation that suits systems where you want the cable to disappear. At this level, the main thing to confirm is basic integrity—clean ends, no crushed sections, and the length/termination you actually need—but nothing in the price suggests a need to nitpick. If the set is complete and intact, it looks like a good pickup.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Transparent Audio was founded in 1980 in Saco, Maine, by audio enthusiasts Jack Sumner, Karen Sumner, and Carl Smith, who initially distributed high-end products like the Norwegian Electrocompaniet amplifiers and the iconic Well Tempered Turntable. Evolving from distribution, the company entered manufacturing in the mid-1980s, first with MIT cables before launching its own innovative line in 1993. This heritage of passion-driven innovation has defined Transparent as a pioneer in audio connectivity, with breakthroughs like patented network technology, unique cable geometries, and system-specific calibration introduced in the 1990s.
The brand focuses exclusively on premium cables and related components, including interconnects, loudspeaker cables, digital audio cables, HDMI cables, AC power cords, and power conditioners. Transparent eschews amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or headphones, concentrating instead on transmission solutions that minimize signal distortion and maximize sonic transparency. Their Reference line, debuted in 1994, established this niche, bolstered by ongoing refinements and an owner-friendly upgrade program.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Transparent commands respect among discerning buyers and professionals for delivering pristine, nuanced sound reproduction in world-class systems. Decades of awards, relentless R&D, and a reputation for pushing cable technology boundaries cement its status as a leader, where cables are treated as equals to components themselves.
