AudioQuest Red River Interconnect Cables (XLR) I bought them on 29 Sep. 2025. I'm not sure that I have adequately run them in. Selling as I prefer my old cables. I made a mistake with the original buy price. Purchased from Space HiFi in Sydney. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT or Paypal Region/State: (SA) South Australia/Australia By amdan 2 Comments AUD $400 Date: December 11, 2025Dec 11
Against the recent AUD used-market comparables, A$400 is ambitious for this one: the median is A$228, with the 25th percentile at A$197 and the 75th percentile at A$258. That puts the asking price well above the typical spread, so it’s not a bargain unless there’s something unusually strong about the exact item or bundle.
That said, the upside is that AudioQuest cables are generally well-liked for solid build quality and clean, dependable performance in a resolving system, so a like-new example can still be appealing if you specifically want this model and trust the seller’s care. With cable listings, the real value is usually in condition, originality, and included packaging, so I’d want to see clear photos and confirmation that it’s complete before paying a premium.
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.
