At USD659 for a 30ft Transparent Gen5 High Performance Active HDMI, this strikes me as a fair ask on the used market, especially if it's in solid shape—new ones like shorter Premium models run USD330 from Transparent's site, and this longer active version was a step up before discontinuation. Used 30-footers pop up around USD500-800 depending on condition, so it's not a steal but reasonable for a specialized cable that punches above basic HDMI in hi-fi video setups.
Before biting, verify the active electronics still fire properly by testing full 4K/60Hz HDR passthrough with high-res audio like Dolby Atmos—no dropouts or handshake issues common in aging actives. Also check for the original box, gold-plated locking connectors free of corrosion, and any power adapter if it needs one; Gen5s from 5-10 years back can have connector wear from flexing.
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.
