    Default RCA Phono Interconnect Identification

    Hello everyone, I have just come across this pair of interconnects, they appear to be very good quality but I can't find any identification markings.
    Does anyone recognise these?

    Possibly Audioquest from the 1990s?

    Thanks for the input, they do look like Audioquest Ruby cables.

    I agree they do look like Audioquest Ruby cables.

    But if they are, they must be very old versions. All Audioquest cables I have seen are not only marked as such on the cable's outer sheath, they also have the name marked around the outer conductor of the plug where it mates with the phono socket.

    Also the plugs on all Audioquest cables I have seen are a gold colour (gold plated?), whereas yours look to be nickel plated.

    Regardless of their provenance, if you are happy with them, then continue to use them.

    I've got some Turquoise I bought back in about '97, plugs look identical but obvs the cable sheath on mine is blue.

    I bet it's all the same wire underneath.

    Is there any writing on the cable? I agree the pattern of the knurling is the same, as is the screw fixing, but we're your's nickel plated?

    Not sure just went to look for them and they're not in my cable graveyard so I don't know where they are.

    They have directional arrows on them, not sure about any writing.

    If you use Google lens to search for them, several suggestions are made, including Audio Technica, Burmester & Cardas.
