Black Rhodium GROOVE Tone Arm Cable 1.25m. Retail price is £660 I am selling for £400. I bought this cable at the Bristol show last year from Black Rhodiums main man.. Its in mint condition. No original packaging. But will be well packed. Its a great sounding cable, Reason for selling is upgraded..
At £400, this is a strong deal: it sits below the £466 25th-percentile figure from six recent comparable listings, and well under the £663 median. For a 1.25m tone-arm cable in excellent condition, that is genuinely attractive used pricing rather than merely fair.
Black Rhodium’s Groove is well regarded for offering a clean, controlled connection between turntable and phono stage, with good shielding and low-noise performance without entering extravagant boutique-cable territory. At this money, it makes sense for anyone upgrading an older or basic interconnect, particularly if the plugs are clean and undamaged and the seller confirms the cable is fully functional. Check that its termination suits your arm and phono stage, but there is no obvious price-related reason to hold back.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
