Just had a look at the boxes the two new ones came in- they are AD80300qn2M, which I think are the audio ones?

The audio ones are white.
The others are grey.
Nope, sat here looking at two grey sets of Silver Series RCA audio, twin shilded, split centre pin, hybrid construction.
The AV set from Franks original link are white, quad shielded etc.
Single spur balanced Mains. Self built music server with 3 seperate linear PSU, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM no hard drive (various Linux OS). Benchmark Dac2 HGC, single ended XLR interconnects/Belkin cable. Exposure 21RC Pre, Super 18 Power (recap & modified). Modded World Audio HD83 HP amp. Hand built Monitors with external crossovers , Volt 250 bass & ABR, Scanspeak 13M8621 Mid & Scanspeak D2905/9300 Hi. HD595 & Beyer 880 (600 ohm) cans.

Yours experience is obviously different from mine.
All I know is that my system sounds better with the arrangement I now have. The grey 75 ohm quad shielded ones are in a box beside me now & the white ones are plugged in. That's how it will stay.
I’m not on about the experience Chris, or which sounds best. I’m talking about the colour designation of the particular types of cable.
The white ones may well sound better to you but to the best of my knowledge they are the AV quad shielded cables Frank linked to and not those Belkin designate as RCA audio.

Something's awry. I bought 4 of the sets that the original post linked to. They were white. They remain plugged in.
I also bought some others from another source. They were grey. I posted a link to them. They are set aside.
I’m not being awkward Chris honestlybut there has been quite a lot of confusion over which type of cable is which and my concern is people here don’t buy the RCA grey, twin shielded cables thinking they are the same as the AV quad shielded that you prfer and Frank originally linked to
I don’t think the white AV cables you prefer and Frank originally linked to are available any more.
The grey, thinner twin shielded RCA audio cables are.
Interestingly I prefer the grey ones but that’s for another time![]()

I'm not suggesting you're being awkward, I'm just trying to understand for myself the various different configurations that are/were available.
I'm rather confused as I'm sure others are. Maybe this is why all these different types came onto the market so cheaply at the same time - the range(s) were not clearly differentiated in the packaging & they needed rationalising?
