Anyone recognise these cables ?

[Audio Al]

Are these anything special ?

Came with my mid 70's Ram speakers

Bog standard cables made with what looks like red/black twisted pair cable you could buy in Woolworths forty years ago. Average looking plugs - so expect to be able to sell them on eBay for £500 the pair, by giving them a fancy name and say that not only were they constructed under the light of a full moon, but were blessed by the Dali Lama. That way the electrons flow more easily with the satisfaction of a job well done.

RS 50 strand twisted in a drill? In the mid to late 70's, t'was about as good as you could get, although RS did a 56 strand we went over to.

Looks like I need to count the strands :eyebrows: could be a challenge with my eyes at close distance , Now can I find any tweezers :D and a magnifying glass :)

[Firebottle]

More pishanto for your collection Al basically :eek:

:cool: Alan

[hifi_dave]

Yep, ancient 56 strand as recommended by Naim and Linn back in the 80's, twisted by a drill as Dave says. I used to do a 'star quad' version for the afficianados..:)

A month ago I came home to find that the wire on our washing line had been stolen. It was black and orange, suspiciously like that cable. I have reported the matter to the police and you can expect a knock on the door any day now.

Are they 'directional'? 'Cos my dog certainly is! :eyebrows:

[Audio Al]

Looks like they may be something other than a dog lead :D

scroll down a bit , do they look the same :D

Nope, I think the chaps got it right first time round Al. Ask yourself what the average owner of those RAM speakers would have connected them with.
