Offered is „Alpha USB Kabel 1,5m“ by Shunyata Research as exhibit from the category „USB Cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 730701846 ends on 24.10.2026 at 06:37 o'clock.
This is a very ambitious ask versus the recent EUR comps. With a median at €753 and the 75th percentile at €812, a listing at €1,650 sits far above the usual used market and would need something genuinely special to justify it.
That said, Shunyata’s Alpha pieces are generally well regarded for lowering noise and bringing a cleaner, more composed presentation to a system, so the appeal is real if this one is in genuinely good shape and complete. For a buyer, the upside is strongest if it’s an original-owner piece with the right cable length, factory connectors, and no cosmetic or mechanical issues; otherwise, this is a hard price to defend against the broader used market.

Shunyata Research emerged in 1997 from the vision of founder Caelin Gabriel, a former U.S. military researcher specializing in ultra-sensitive data acquisition systems. Based near Seattle, Washington, the company traces its roots to Gabriel's passion for hi-fi, sparked during his deployment in Germany, where he began exploring signal and power line interference to enhance music reproduction. This blend of scientific rigor and personal drive propelled Shunyata from modest origins into a global force in high-performance electrical systems.
The brand focuses exclusively on advanced cabling and power solutions, pioneering technologies that minimize noise and optimize current delivery. Renowned for aftermarket power cords—now legendary in design—Shunyata also produces speaker cables like the Omega series, alongside conditioners and distribution systems. These custom-engineered products serve not just audiophiles but recording studios, film production, and medical environments, where measurable reductions in distortion are paramount.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, Shunyata commands respect among discerning buyers for its patented innovations, backed by over two decades of research. Gabriel holds more than ten patents, earning endorsements from mastering engineers, heart surgeons, and elite studios worldwide. For the serious hi-fi enthusiast, Shunyata represents uncompromised purity in signal transmission, elevating systems to reference levels.
