I'm Sam.
Anyone recognise these one-man-band interconnects?
I took a punt on these last night - attracted by the RCA plugs for the price. But the cable itself looks interesting and apparently was something constructed and sold on ebay by a one-man-band type thing, building silver cables. Has anyone come across them before? Aparently were £110 originally..
Here's the ebay listing for small description: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331747225456

I bought a few 99.9% silver cables off a guy called Dogsplodge on ebay, but they did not look like that

So did I. Still got mine. They sound very good.Originally Posted by Andy831
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

They arrived today (but I've no time to try them for a few days). The photo makes it look like they have a thick, shiny jacket. In fact they are a black and white nylon mesh (the usual mesh but this one quite fine) with a large twist of solid silver wires probably around an air core if I were to take them apart..
Much nicer to look at than I expected from the photo!

Yes, they're from a company called 'Foo-Foo Acoustics Ltd', and those are their 'Uber-Black Noisefloor, Zero Expectation Bias MK7s', fitted with prototype non-ferrous, anti-flatulence plugs.
I should've thought that was obvious!
