All TPD cables stand out in price/performance ratio and the reference quest is no exception. The reference quest is ultimately the quest of creating a cable without compromise: The "Reference Quest" cables are made with two solid silver conductors and a stranded copper return, and use polyethylene insulation. They feature Gold on Silver Electroplate on Pure Copper connectors (without the often intervening nickel layer, much like the female Vampire jacks used in the JC-1 amps). The designer is Art Almstead, formerly of IBM, whose work suggests he's a guy who knows more than a little about what's what. The fit and finish of these "Reference Quest" cables is particularly nice, and the sound is very detailed with a perspective that features the suave balance of not too forward, but neither too laid-back for my taste. The choice of name suggests that Twisted Pair considers the audio quest the same way that most of us do: a quest worth being on. Speaker cable :- Hybrid bare OFC copper and Litz configuration
