What is this interconnect?


Doubtful anybody will know, but I have a pair of interconnects that I demo'd at a stereo store a number of years ago and bought. There is no name, logo, or other corporate (or individual) markings, but they are atypical.

First, the RCA connector sticks out of a wood sheath. I am not talking about the metal cylinder which makes contact with the female rca connector, but right behind it - I don't know what type of wood it is, but looks quite nice. There is a large arrow on one end of the cable, in black and lettered imperfectly. Second the cable is semi-rigid. If you bend it in a L shape, it will stay that way. The cable itself is shielded by a grey textile material, it is densely braided and feels a bit like nylon or webbing.

They are strange interconnects, and I assume - made by someone in their garage, but if anyone knows anything about a cable like this.. do respond!

Much thanks for reading this far..

Damn! I know what those are, I've had them, but can not think of the name.
I believe the company that made them loaned us a set around 1993.
If I remember correctly there was quite a problem with the wood block
part of them breaking due to incorrect use. Now, what was the name of them???
I would know if we carried them, but we decided not to.
What about Versalab ? Don't know if it is what you were looking for, just thought i'd throw it into the ring. They were big fans of using wood on various cabling. Sean

The internal wire is either highly magnetic or mu metal - I forget which. The name escapes me for now (senior moment) , but when it comes back to me I'll repost if someone else hasn't already remembered.
