This €499 ask on a used AudioQuest Water XLR 1m is a bargain at the low end of the market. Our recent comps across 21 EUR listings show a median of €2,289, with the 25th percentile at €498 and 75th at €3,296—putting this right at the bottom of fair used value, especially versus its new price tag. For a premium analog interconnect like the Water, that's enthusiast territory without overpaying.
Before biting, verify the XLR terminations for oxidation or loose pins—common on these after a few years—and check the jacket for cracks or hardening, as AudioQuest's PVC can embrittle. Insist on original boxes and any ferrite clamps if listed, and test for channel balance on your preamp to rule out subtle dielectric failures. Solid deal if it passes.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1980 by Bill Low in Irvine, California, AudioQuest traces its roots to 1978, when Low, a hi-fi store manager and avid enthusiast, began crafting superior audio cables to overcome the signal degradation he observed in existing products. Dissatisfied with subpar materials and construction, he prioritized advanced conductors like 6N copper, innovative insulation, and precise geometries, quickly earning acclaim after demos at events like the 1979 Summer CES. This passion-driven origin propelled AudioQuest from a cable innovator—first U.S. company to advance signal transmission in 1985—to a global force in high-performance audio.
While renowned for its expansive lineup of analog, digital, and AC power cables, including HDMI for video, AudioQuest has broadened into USB DACs and headphone amps, highlighted by the multi-award-winning DragonFly series launched in 2012. The brand also offers Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners, alongside custom-install solutions, all engineered to maximize system fidelity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
AudioQuest commands a premium position in the high-end market, supplying thousands of specialist retailers across 60 countries as the dominant cable provider for discerning audiophiles. Its relentless innovation, from conductor purity to dielectric design, delivers tangible performance gains, cementing a reputation for value and musicality that serious hi-fi buyers trust.
