Offered is „Transparent Reference Powerlink XL 2m“ by Transparent Audio as second-hand device from the category „Power Cords“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6850562237 ends on 15.12.2026 at 21:45 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for high-end speaker cables, and €800 is a strong deal: it sits well below the €1,176 25th-percentile asking price from 13 comparable listings, versus a €2,974 median. For a genuine pair of Transparent Reference cables in good condition, that is bargain territory rather than merely fair pricing.
The appeal is Transparent’s substantial, well-controlled presentation: notably firm, weighty bass, a very quiet background, and dense, stable imaging. The network is calibrated for the amplifier and intended system, so confirm whether this pair is High Z or Low Z, check the terminations, length, and calibration history, and ensure the connectors suit your setup. Those details matter, but at €800 they are sensible checks on an unusually attractive opportunity, not reasons to dismiss it.
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.
