Im NOT going to shoot some cables down....I make a habit of re-terminating cables and guys there is a LOT of "You pay, we giggle" cables out there.....

But THIS was satisfying...

Van Den Hul Magnum Hybrid: supposed to be 480+ silver coated strands in there....well it looks like it...and silver... NO BS

Sooo, Next up the bigger brother: Revelation: - Again as said.....but a bastard to terminate....all isolation removed almost 8mm diameter  :Ooooooh:
Very high grade Matched Crystal (MC) OFC with a thick and very dense coating of pure silver
The centre conductor is made of 294 single strands each 0.15 mm..
Around this core 16 helically wound conductors are applied. Each of these 16 conductors consists of 42 strands of 0.15 mm. diameter.

compared to this $4250/2m speaker/power cable....the tube same as kreepy crawly pipe........YES the power cable they conveniently added 2 green ground wire....what BS!!
Inner cable with no centre conductor, outer shield, all soldered together. simple process...coax (with centre conductor left out) with just another shield extruded over. Can buy it from MOUSER with inner conductor.
