Rare opportunity to own a 5m pair of Chord's original Signature Speaker Cable.
The original Signature was Chord's first HF shielded speaker cable and marked a massive leap in speaker cable tech.
It was also the biggest, stiffest and brightest cable they had made! It didn’t need a press release or a review, it took off so fast by word of mouth, that for a while there was almost a permanent waiting list.
KEY FEATURES
CONDUCTORS: 7 Oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors
INSULATION: Gas-foamed Polyethylene dielectric
SHIELDING: A complex 3-layer combination of braids and foils designed to be highly effective at high radio/electromagnetic frequencies
OUTER JACKET: Flexible polyethylene
It was, and still his highly regarded and absolutely illuminating in the way it brings music to life.
Compared with buying a generic used speaker cable at this money, this is not a bargain-price listing; at NZD 3,500 it sits far above the local used norm of NZD 315 and even well beyond the NZD 2,508 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious ask by a wide margin. For a cable listing, that means the price only really makes sense if the buyer already wants this exact Chord piece and trusts the seller’s condition and provenance.
The upside is that Chord’s original Signature speaker cable is a well-regarded, older HF-shielded design and a 5m pair is a practical length for many systems, so there is genuine collector-and-enthusiast appeal here. The listing’s “rare opportunity” framing fits the product, but rarity alone does not bridge the gap at this price; a buyer should want clear evidence of originality, termination quality, and excellent cosmetic condition before entertaining it.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
The Chord Company, a British hi-fi cable specialist, traces its origins to 1985 in Salisbury, England, where founder Sally Kennedy—then Sally Gibb—began handcrafting interconnects in her kitchen. Sparked by a dinner conversation with Naim Audio retailers seeking quality DIN-to-RCA cables for the US market, she launched the venture with Naim's endorsement, emphasizing fully British design and construction. The company rapidly outgrew multiple facilities before settling into its purpose-built headquarters near Stonehenge in Wiltshire in 2004.
Chord focuses exclusively on audio cabling, producing an extensive range of speaker cables, interconnects, power cords, digital links, and tonearm wires. Its products prioritize neutrality, delivering signal paths that neither add nor subtract from the music, crafted by a team of music enthusiasts using high-quality, UK-sourced materials. This singular dedication sets it apart from broader electronics brands.
Renowned internationally as a high-end boutique leader in cables, Chord Company occupies a premium niche, balancing exceptional performance with value across budgets. Its reputation for transparency, build quality, and musical fidelity earns praise among discerning audiophiles, positioning it as a go-to for system upgrades without extravagant pricing.
