Offered is „Gran Finale XLR“ by HMS Elektronik 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 3258949358 ends on 19.11.2026 at 23:44 o'clock.
At €1,000, this sits a bit above the median but well below the 75th percentile, so it reads as fair rather than cheap. It is not a bargain, but it is in the sweet spot for a good-condition example of a respected HMS interconnect.
The Gran Finale line has a strong reputation for clean, resolving, and very low-coloration performance, with the sort of control and openness that suits revealing systems. If the cable is genuinely in good shape and the length/spec suits the system, the upside is getting a serious high-end lead without paying the top-end asking levels; I’d mainly confirm plugs, length, and that both ends are original and clean.

Founded in Germany in 1975 by Hans M. Strassner, HMS Elektronik embodies a heritage of meticulous engineering and audiophile passion. Strassner's vision propelled the brand to pioneer technology-driven audio solutions, earning a devoted following among precision-focused enthusiasts. For decades, it remained a cornerstone of German hi-fi excellence, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025 with innovations like the Gran Finale 50 series, featuring monocrystal copper and advanced air-dielectric designs.
HMS specializes in high-end audio cables and power solutions, channeling its expertise into interconnects, speaker cables, and power distribution that prioritize signal integrity and performance. While rooted in cable craftsmanship, the brand's research-driven approach extends to metallurgies and materials science, ensuring products deliver uncolored, dynamic sound reproduction.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, HMS commands respect in Germany and select international circles, though it flies under the radar for many global audiophiles. Since 2024, integration into International Audio Holding B.V.—home to Siltech and Crystal Cable—has shifted production to advanced Dutch facilities, blending HMS's legacy with cutting-edge techniques to solidify its stature among discerning buyers seeking reliable, precision-engineered upgrades.
