Pair of XLR Cables between 1.8m to 2.1m long Interconnect Cables (XLR) AudioQuest Red River quality or similar. No less than 1.8m long, no more than 2.1m(I think I may have sold a pair of these few years ago...insert headslap here) Condition: Very good Payment Method: Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By FenceFurniture 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $350 Date: January 2Jan 2
AudioQuest’s RIVER sits in that sweet spot where the line usually earns its keep through clean, lively signal handling rather than flashy mystique. At A$350, this asking price is ambitious against your local comps: it’s above the 75th percentile of A$258 and well over the median A$228, so I’d only bite if the cable is notably long, unusually complete, or the seller can justify the premium.
The upside here is that a very_good example can be a tidy way into AudioQuest’s well-regarded cable voicing, especially if you’re chasing a bit more clarity and control in a revealing system. The main thing to check is practical fit for your setup—length, termination, and genuine condition matter more than cosmetics on speaker cable. If it’s original, clean, and the run length suits your system, it could still be a worthwhile buy, but it isn’t a bargain at this price.
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.
