Compared with the obvious alternative at this level—buying a fresh mid-tier cable and stopping there—this sits in upper-end territory, but the €8,999 ask is still only modestly above the recent €8,458 75th percentile and well above the €5,661 median. That makes it ambitious rather than outrageous: not a bargain, but not a wild outlier for a premium used listing.
What makes it interesting is the line’s reputation for a very polished, highly resolved presentation with strong noise-floor reduction and system-scale refinement, which is why these pieces keep a loyal following. If the set is complete and genuinely good condition, the upside is getting a top-tier cable at a discount to new pricing; just make sure any proprietary ends, elevators, or original packaging are included, since those matter more on a piece like this than on a generic cable.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
