Verdict: Asking price is fair to slightly aggressive. The Mainz D2 retails at approximately USD $9,700 per meter (€8,800 converted), making this 2m cable worth roughly USD $19,400 new. Used examples of premium Ansuz power cables typically move at 45–55% of retail, suggesting a fair range of USD $8,700–$10,700 for a 2m D2 in excellent condition. At USD $4,999, you're looking at roughly 26% of new retail—a solid discount, though the asking price hinges entirely on actual condition and whether the cable shows any wear or has been heavily used in a demanding system.
Before committing, verify the connector type matches your gear (EU, US, GB, or AUS termination) and confirm the cable has been stored properly—Ansuz's proprietary coil technology and shielding can degrade if wound too tightly or exposed to temperature swings. Ask the seller for photos of both connectors and any visible housing for micro-cracks in the anodized aluminum, and request documentation of original purchase if available. A 2m power cable is a long run; confirm it hasn't been flexed repeatedly at the strain relief, which is the typical failure point on premium cables.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ansuz Acoustics emerged from Denmark's storied audio heritage in 2012, founded by industry veterans Lars Kristensen and Michael Børresen. Drawing inspiration from the Nordic rune Ansuz—symbolizing wisdom—the duo launched the brand after Kristensen, weary from two decades in cables, was captivated by Børresen's revolutionary concepts for reducing signal distortion. Their shared vision addressed conventional cables' shortcomings, like inductance, mechanical instability, and noise, which they believed compressed musical authenticity. Rooted in Denmark's century-long dominance in hi-fi, from Peter L. Jensen's pioneering loudspeaker to modern innovations, Ansuz embodies a relentless pursuit of sonic purity.
The brand specializes in premium cables and noise-control solutions, including signal, power, and speaker cables, alongside power distributors, grounding devices, streaming accessories, and resonance control products like DARKz footers and SPARKz. These components target unwanted vibrations, electromagnetic interference, and signal degradation, employing advanced Tesla coil technologies to enhance clarity, dynamics, and flow. Ansuz forms the foundational layer for high-end systems, complementing sister brands Aavik and Børresen in Audio Group Denmark's ecosystem.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Ansuz commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its boutique engineering and transformative impact. Owners praise generational upgrades, like the 2-series cables, for elevating already elite performance. This niche leader prioritizes emotional, uncolored reproduction, making it indispensable for buyers seeking the pinnacle of hi-fi realism.
