what makes them clearly expensive, other than perhaps the custom "banana" plugs
If you're hinting these are signal cables, take a closer look
Genuine answer: they are just a pair of (apparently) well made cables, at least of good gauge and apparently good connectors (although at least one answer that thos connectors were poor quality).
If you like it, fine use it.
If you need another (I guess you do), get a similar gauge cable and a couple banana plugs (no, they don't ned to match these) and make it.
Cable is as generic a component as can be, brands certainly mean little or nothing, so worrying about them won't carry you far, not even here in DIY where some agonize over them.

I've owned enough high end equipment over the years to know once at a certain level cables do make a noticeable difference. I had five demo speaker cables once, two were similar and three colored the sound.
Prior to component upgrades cables id tried made little difference.
If you cant tell the difference then theres other limits to your system.
Do I believe some cables are worth thousands, no. But to someone where money is no object they will be.
The question was can the cable be identified and the answer seems to be no.

If you CAN tell a difference between cables there are limits to your system, like a badly designed cable itself (this is sometimes done on purpose) or very poor amplifier design leaving the product marginally stable and thus susceptible to cable capacitance and/or inductance.
The cable in question was not identified because anybody with a modicum of knowledge simply doesn't care about fancy cables.
Yes, above a certain price level and below a certain competence level. If cables make a noticeable difference then something is wrong. All good cables sound the same, as all they have to do is get a signal unmolested from A to B - a relatively trivial task for such an undemanding application as domestic audio. Bad cables (which tend to be either very cheap or very expensive) can affect the sound as they suffer from design or construction errors: poor screening, high resistance, high inductance or capacitance.el donkey said:
