For sale Transparent Ultra XL speaker cables 3.6m.
At kr8,500, this sits above the recent used median of kr6,162 and between the 25th and 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-ambitious ask rather than a bargain. New ULTRA interconnect pricing lands far higher, so used value is still substantial, but this listing is not cheap enough to call a standout deal.
That’s still appealing if the cable is the right length and the termination matches your system, because Transparent’s ULTRA line is well regarded for low-noise, scale, and a clean but weighty presentation. With cables, condition and originality matter a lot, so a tidy, unmodified example with the original box or paperwork would strengthen the buy; if those are missing, the price should ideally soften a bit.
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.
