Transparent Audio 0906 Transparent Audio Musiclink Reference Cable As indicated in the photos these Transparent Audio Musiclink Reference Cable is terminated in XLR as the send to RCA as the receive. They are 2 mtrs long and in excellent condition & perfect working order. Unfortunately I do not have the boxes but could post securely wrapped in bubble wrap. Condition: Good Payment Method: Cash, EFT Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By john70 0 Comments AUD $1,750 Date: June 27, 20241 yr
If this is a late-’90s/early-2000s MusicLink Reference-era cable, the age matters more than the model name: the design is long discontinued, so value is mostly about condition, length, and whether the network boxes are intact. At A$1,750, this looks fair-to-strong rather than cheap, but not out of line for a serious Transparent Reference loom if it’s complete and genuinely excellent.
What you’re buying here is the classic Transparent appeal: big-picture coherence, weight, and a polished, “sorted” presentation without turning edgy. These cables were sold as a full-system tuning piece, so they can still make sense in a revealing rig, especially if you want a reference-grade analogue interconnect and the set includes the original packaging and any matching documentation. For a clean, intact example, the upside is simply owning a top-tier discontinued Transparent piece that still has real cachet on the used market.
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.
