This is unremarkable on paper, but sensible at A$120. New local pricing for the Encore II sits at about A$289, so the ask is well under half of retail and reads as a solid used-market buy rather than a stretch.
The appeal is the usual Straight Wire upside: a clean, neutral-leaning interconnect with good build and an easy, unforced presentation that many systems suit. At this price, an excellent-condition pair is worth grabbing if the terminations are tidy and both channels are quiet; the main win here is getting a respected cable for far less than new without taking on much downside.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Straight Wire is an American cable specialist founded by Steven Hill, with roots in Hollywood, Florida and a history that the company traces back to a garage startup. Its own materials and distributor descriptions place it among the early names in audiophile cabling, and it has built a long-running identity around performance-focused wire rather than full-system electronics.
The brand is primarily known for audio and AV cables: interconnects, speaker cables, HDMI leads, custom-install wiring, and related termination hardware. Its product lines have included a wide range of named cable families for stereo and home-theater use, with an emphasis on signal transfer, flexibility, and installation-friendly design. Straight Wire is not a maker of amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, or headphones.
In the market, Straight Wire sits in the niche high-end cable segment rather than the mainstream component business. It is best understood as a specialist brand for audiophiles, custom installers, and home-theater users who want established, American-made cable products from a company with decades of continuity. Its reputation is solid but focused: respected in its category, especially among buyers who prioritize cable design and system matching over flashy hardware branding.
