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..
This is a strong deal at GBP £400, sitting well below the recent comparable-market 25th percentile of GBP £465 and comfortably under the GBP £662 median. For an excellent-condition example, that is notably attractive rather than merely fair, assuming the listing accurately describes the cable and its termination.
Black Rhodium’s Groove tone-arm cables are respected for clean signal transfer, low noise, and a sensible balance of detail and musicality without being needlessly exotic. The 1.25 m length is practical for most turntable-to-phono-stage setups, and excellent condition adds confidence when buying used. Check the connector configuration and confirm that the plugs are undamaged, but at GBP £400 this looks like a worthwhile opportunity for anyone already considering an upgrade.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
