Compared with a new cable at this price, the used market says this is slightly ambitious rather than a bargain: A$725 sits above the median A$587 and above the 75th percentile A$742 is only just missed, so it’s near the top end of the recent range. For a known-good piece, that makes sense only if the seller has something extra to show.
What keeps it interesting is the line’s reputation for strong shielding, solid build, and clean, low-noise performance in a resolving system. In excellent condition, it can be a sensible buy if you want a step-up interconnect without chasing a brand-new retail price; I’d just want confidence that the termination is clean and the cable has been well cared for.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
The Chord Company was founded in 1984 in Salisbury, England, born from a serendipitous dinner conversation among Naim Audio retailers visiting from the US. They sought a high-quality DIN-to-RCA interconnect cable, unavailable at the time, prompting Sally Gibb—then married to a Naim executive—to propose crafting them herself. With Naim's endorsement, she launched the venture, naming it for the American term "cord" and its musical resonance, while insisting on fully British design and construction. Early prototypes were tested with Naim expertise, hand-built by friends, establishing a heritage rooted in precision and hi-fi passion from its Wiltshire headquarters near Stonehenge.
The company specializes exclusively in analogue and digital cables, spanning interconnects, speaker wires, power cords, and tonearm cables across performance tiers from entry-level C-series to flagship Leyline ranges. Unlike brands delving into amplifiers, speakers, or DACs, Chord focuses intently on signal integrity, employing advanced shielding, conductor materials, and geometry to minimize noise and preserve dynamics—catering to systems from budget setups to ultra-high-end rigs.
Renowned as a high-end boutique leader in the cable market, The Chord Company commands respect among discerning audiophiles for delivering exceptional value, transparency, and build quality that punches above its price. Its steady growth and international acclaim affirm a niche position: not vintage or mid-tier, but a go-to for upgrades that reveal system potential without ostentation.
