Offered is „Chord Music 1 BNC - 1 BNC 1,5 m“ by Chord Cable / The Chord Company as exhibit from the category „BNC cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1241081168 ends on 21.12.2026 at 10:17 o'clock.
At €4,250, this Chord Music 1 BNC–BNC 1.5m listing is ambitiously priced, sitting well above the 75th percentile of €2,366 and far beyond the median of €957 for comparable used EUR listings. New Chord Music digital BNC cables (1m) historically cost around £3,500 (~€4,000), so while this asking price is near original new cost for a longer 1.5m run, it offers little used-market discount and exceeds typical resale value significantly.
Chord Music cables are revered for their ultra-low loss, exceptional clarity, and premium build, making them a top choice for high-end digital audio once you accept the cost. The real upside here would hinge on pristine original-owner condition, full original packaging, and perhaps included accessories, but without those specifics, the price feels steep compared to the €733–€2,366 used range. This is a niche buy for those prioritizing absolute performance over value, not a bargain.
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.
