I'm pretty sure it's Nordost cable of some sort but it doesn't match anything I see on their site so I'm guessing it's an older cable. It's a biwire cable with the tweeter cable having fewer conductors than the woofer cable, any one know what it is?

Looks like Nordost blue heaven to me, but those terminations differ from what I've seen on factory terminated ends. Blue heaven used red and blue shrink wrap. Not sure about the difference in number of connectors used on each biwire leg run.
This setup is what my Red Dawn II look like in biwire setup:

The cables seem to narrow to be blue heaven's, and as mentioned, the terminations dont look like nordost. Could be telephone wire...

It's speaker cable and it belonged to a friend who sadly died and his wife is asking me to dispose of everything for her. I reckon it's probably about 5 years old as I can remeber him getting it when he bought new speakers and I know he didn't make it up himself - possible that the dealer made it up to a custom length? It's terminated with zplugs and certainly looks like Nordost but I'm a bit wary of listing it on ebay and saying it's Nordost if it's not. I also don't want to just toss it out if it's worth a bit. Anyone know what rev 1 blue heaven was like as I was wondering if it might be that.
