Great finding, yes it is for the WM1Z, they did it in a special way. But what about the wires from those cables. My main reason to avoid anything plated is just that, the prime layer in between. The reason why I adopted the Sony style of Z1R stock cables is because it did sound good, and much better than any typical Plated wires and cables I came across. So I adopted it . However, pure materials are always better than Plated wires.
Well internal wiring of 1Z is by Kimber and is pure copper, all the other Sony Kimber cables are also pure copper. Sony themselves seems to prefer silver-plated copper. The plugs are all gold-plated, so I don't think any of them uses nickel.
