I guess it was the mid-1980s, the heyday of audio. This was a time when it was widely recognized that cables could change the sound. Even in Japan, major electric wire manufacturers have ambitiously developed these devices, and each one is a masterpiece. Broadly speaking, there is a direction toward removing impurities from conductors and improving the purity of materials. The other is a vector that improves signal transmission loss by reducing boundaries at the copper crystal level. (Later, materials that pushed forward in these two directions were also developed.) The former are representative such as Ortofon, Acrotec, and SAEC (8n/7n/6n, etc.) Among the latter, Furukawa Electrics PC-OCC and Hitachi Cables LC-OFC were famous. Both Furukawa and Hitachi supply OEM products to various companies and have been adopted by many manufacturers. Unfortunately, he has discontinued production of FURUKAWA and his HITACHI due to business reasons. I believe that his contribution to the audio world was truly enormous. PC-OCC (single crystal oxygen-free copper) seems to be more familiar as a conductor that focuses on the crystal boundaries of copper. His LC-OFC (Linear Crystal Oxygen-Free Copper) from Hitachi Cable was a pioneer. Although it is thought that they are heading in the same direction, there is a considerable difference in the sound quality trends of the two. After Furukawa Electric announced that it would discontinue the production of PCOCC, it has developed an innovative conductor as an alternative. There is PC-Triple-C (a conductor made by constant-angle continuous transfer forging), but the copper crystal structure is better than single-crystal PC-OCC. I feel that this LC-OFC is similar to Meltone, where a conductor structure is formed in the direction of signal propagation. This item is his QUANTUM (CLASS 1) which is an upgraded version of his LC-OFC. This cable uses the newly developed Melltone processing technology. By aging under special high-temperature conditions, the crystal structure remains intact. He is credited with eliminating physical distortion and dramatically improving sound quality. Unlike his flashy, shocking pink color, it exudes dignity and style. It produces a truly orthodox sound, so please dont judge it by its appearance. Its structure consists of his 2-core shielded wire, and his Meltone conductor is also luxuriously used for the shielded braided wire. Both HOT and COLD have a symmetrical configuration and a uniform geometry. The center pin of the plug uses LC-OFC, which is equivalent to wire material, and is designed to avoid negative effects on sound quality. As a major electric wire manufacturer, we have mastered key points, such as connecting wires using solder-free spot welding. This is a very carefully made cable. The plug itself is made from solid brass, with no corners cut. The inside of the cable is tightly filled with cotton material to prevent static electricity and mechanical vibration. Since it is a 2-core balanced configuration, the shield wire is connected to GND only on the upstream side. There are various styles, but this is the technique used not only by this cable but also by famous manufacturers. This is the method used by major manufacturers, so there is a directionality to the connection. There are some scratches, scuffs, and dirt due to use, but I dont think there is any major damage. I may have overlooked some things, but I have posted as many images as possible, so please take a look. Judgment of appearance varies from person to person, and I think people get different impressions.
