Aurealis R1 DRAGON Interconnect Cables (XLR) Further Information: AUREALIS R1 DRAGON XLR @1MTR IN LENGTH R1 Dragon Balanced Cable - Silver and Copper Litz It's taken a long while but the silver/copper Litz Dragon is now available as a balanced cable. In order to achieve a balanced configuration the amount of wire in the signal path has been doubled. Features: 7 Litz wires per channel. Silver and copper Litz are combine in the signal paths (Pin 2 and Pin 3) As with the RCA version, 3 different gauges of Litz wire are used - 24, 26 and 28 awg The Litz wire used is our own premium Litz.
Aurealis R1 DRAGON is a well-regarded boutique interconnect, and at A$520 this asking price is ambitious against your recent AUD comps: it sits above the 75th percentile of A$443 and well over the A$428 median. That means it is pricing in a premium rather than matching the current used market.
The upside is the usual one with good cable buys: if the build is genuinely as new/mint, this is the kind of piece that can disappear from listings quickly and save you the hit of buying new. Aurealis R1s are valued for their clean, refined presentation and solid craftsmanship, so if the length, termination, and cosmetics suit your setup, it can still make sense — but at this level I’d want visible proof of condition and exact specs before paying up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
