Gold coated brass speaker spades

It's all about brass being same as OFC and even Silver. All three materials can be used in audio wires and all will sound nearly same.

@czarivey  You’re kidding, right?  That’s just an absurd statement, and nobody makes cables out of brass wire for a reason.

Looks like everything happens for a reason and no matter how absurd it is sounding to you, please check the past how Chinese retailers were selling fake Harmonic Tech, Nordost, Siltech and other 4...5- figure priced wires for around $100 per pair and finding lots of success, because even if science can be misleading or biased, the mathematics cannot. The material inside pretty sleeves when opened turned out to be neither OFC nor Silver, but the discussed cheap brass!

@czarivey That don’t mean squat. Anyone listening to the same cable one made of brass and the other made of OFC, OCC, or silver would surely hear the difference. Stealing the look/geometry (if they even bother to get that right) only gets you so far.

@czarivey time to get educated me thinks.

 The best materials for audio cables depend on the desired sound quality, budget, and application. The most important considerations are the conductor material and the insulation material: 
Conductor material
The most conductive metals for audio cables are silver and copper: 
Silver: The most conductive metal, but it's expensive and tarnishes when exposed to oxygen. Silver cables are perceived to have a brighter, more present sound. 
Copper: The second most conductive metal, and the most common choice for audio cables. Copper cables are perceived to have a more balanced, "warm" sound. 
Gold: Less conductive than copper or silver, and expensive to produce. Gold is often used as a coating on cable connector ends. 
Aluminum: Has low conductivity and is typically used in inexpensive cables. Aluminum cables lack clarity and brightness. 
Insulation material
Common insulation materials include PVC and Teflon: 
PVC: Cost-effective and offers adequate protection for most applications. 
Teflon: More expensive than PVC, but provides better heat resistance and durability. 
Microporous PTFE: A low-density dielectric material that offers significant performance improvements over solid PTFE dielectrics.
