Yes, it’s a beautiful cable. I just tried taking a photo, but it’s not coming out as good as it looks in real life. Arctic must have had better lighting and camera skills than me. But mine looks just like their picture, all sparkly copper wire. Fortunately, it sounds great too.
Furutech and Oyaide connectors are just expensive. According to Torq in the Cable DIY thread, they are well built but probably don’t add anything to the sound. Cue @ProfFalkin to jump in and call them snake oil!
I got the Oyaide connectors because they looked good, and since the cables were expensive to start with, I didn’t mind paying a little extra for matching ‘snake oil’ connectors.
