Beginner Question

It was bright silver, almost chrome looking. It has multiple thin wires side by side. Does anyone know the brand or types? 

Yes, expensive! 

Nordost Speaker Cable?

It looked like Nordost.  I did not see the wood blocks, but I did not look behind the speakers and amp closely.  I will research that.  Thanks.  

Um, why don't you call the shops and ask them?

What I got...

Dweller,

You are a total babe!

QED makes a silver anniversary bi-wire cable with four thin gauge  wires side by side. Maybe it was QED...

OP,

Many showrooms will use high end Nordost, which sounds fantastic. However is very expensive. Depending on your equipment and your budget, a different brand may be more cost effective. 

Sounds like NORDOST FREY , or even higher model in their stable 

12many, sounds like nordost cable to me, and the monitor audio platinum 300s are so much better than the Wilsons it's not even funny, in fact Robert Deutsch who is a reviewer for stereophile chose the platinum 300 Gen 2 as his new reference and he had Wilson Sabrina there before he got to review the platinum and he said the platinum were far superior and I have the platinum 200 Gen 2 and I absolutely love them much better than Magico and many other of the high-end extremely expensive speakers, that MPD tweeter is the best on the market it goes to 100,000 clean and their driver technology is way ahead of everybody and their cabinetry work is beyond reproach 11 layers of hand polished lacquer and a beautiful Strathsprey leather front which is used by Rolls-Royce and other high-end car companies in England, takes 166 hours to make each cabinet, if they were made in England the platinum 500 would probably cost $80,000, but since it's made in China that's why it doesn't cost so much and it will compete with the best of the best out there for one quarter of the price, so I say this if you want to spend $80,000 on Magico or other overpriced speakers than I laugh at you and I say go ahead but the monitor audio platinum are world-class speakers and they'll compete with anybody out there, and they sure look a hell of a lot better than the ugly aluminum boxes that Magico makes.

if you guys want the best ribbon cable check out silversmith fidelium, it beat out Greg Weaver's reference cable for $18,000 and it's only $1,195 for 8 ft

@12many - take a look at these three brands...

• Zavfino (their OCC copper cables)
• In-Akustik
• Hijiri

They are right up there with the Nordost perofrmance wise, but they mght be a little more affordable

Nordost!  My fave!

Hello 12many! You can DIY such a cable for $0.65/foot plus your choice of connectors! 50 conductor, silver plated, flat cable is available from several surplus outlets for sixty-five cents a foot on 100 foot spools. It IS a bit tedious to seperate (4 X 50) 200 strands of wire and strip the insulation from the ends (that's why nobody does it in a commercial cable) but it's worth the effort. The flat grey cable isn't pretty, but who needs pretty? I have found only one cable that sounds better on my Magnepan LRS and various Golde Ear speakers. The secret? Every other wire is connected together to form one leg of the path to the speakers. Thus the magnetic field around the cable is nullified. It.'s easy to prove awith a compass and bass heavy music. The commercial flat cable guys run half the contuctors side by side for each leg of the audio path; two wide flat signal paths parallel to each other. Big magnetic field! Boo, hiss! It easly picks up interfering nonsense and radiates a field into everything nearby. Who needs trouble? Contact me for photos.
