Unfortunately I don't like the sound

Lacks of dynamic, I guess this HF cable is not good for audio, too tightly shielded

Must try again with bare naked silver in teflon :allteeth:

Well sometimes you don't know till you try (never know where the next big thing will come from). At least the look pretty.

PS - I second the question about the connectors.

Ooopppsss sorry, forgot about the connectors

Don't know what the brand, looks like OEM connectors (both RCA and mini jack). Bought in Sim Lim Tower, Singapore.

Can anyone tell me if the Beldon magnet wire is oxygen-free copper? If it isn't, is there a similar wire available that is?

is that solid core cat5e wire? I made some almost exactly like that (in fact exactly like that, except with blue flexo and heatshrink on top) and the wires snapped after a few months.
