Atlas Cables Ascent Symmetrical Interconnect Cables (XLR) 1 pair of Atlas Ascent XLR available 1m long made of brass with OCC connecting pins. Atlas cables are designed and engineered in Scotland and produce a world class range of audiophile analogue cables sold world wide. You'll find a very good review of these cables by hi-fi news that provides the excellent manufactured and sound qualities of these cable. Reason for selling, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade! Price includes shipping. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: ETF, Cash Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By Tim
Atlas’s Ascent line sits in the “serious cable” tier, and A$460 for a like-new symmetrical interconnect looks fair to attractive rather than ambitious. The clearest benchmark here is the original £500 new price for a 1m Ascent Symmetrical RCA-RCA pair; that puts the asking price in a sensible used range, and in AUD it’s roughly in the same neighborhood after currency conversion, especially for clean condition.
What makes it worth a look is the usual Atlas strength: a very open, low-grain presentation with good timing and detail, so it tends to suit resolving systems that benefit from more transparency without getting thin. Like-new condition is a real plus on cables because the value is mostly in the terminations, jacket, and general care; if it includes the original box and length/termination match your setup, this is the kind of listing that can be an easy buy rather than a project.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Atlas Cables emerged from Scotland's vibrant hi-fi scene in 2000, rooted in the expertise of industry veteran John Carrick, who developed value-driven cable lines for the British retailer Mountain Snow in the 1990s. A group of five dealers acquired the brand in 2003, rebranding it as Atlas Scotland Ltd. and propelling its growth from those early successes. Today, headquartered in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, the independent UK-owned company designs and handcrafts nearly all its products on-site, embodying a quarter-century commitment to Scottish engineering precision.
The brand specializes exclusively in high-performance cables and accessories, spanning interconnects, speaker cables, digital links, power cords, and specialized components like tonearm cables. eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or source gear in favor of eliminating signal loss between system elements. Their philosophy distills cable design to five essentials—conductor, dielectric, connector, screening, and manufacturing—using premium materials such as Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) and superior Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) variants for open, accurate, natural sound.
Atlas holds a respected niche in the high-end market as a boutique specialist, earning global acclaim through award-winning lines like Mavros and Asimi, distributed in over 30 countries. Knowledgeable audiophiles value its no-nonsense, hand-built quality that punches above its price, positioning it as a go-to for system upgrades without hype or excess.
