Here they are unterminated, revealing just the Teflon tape outer wrap, together with jumpers made from unterminated 12awg dead soft .999 silver inside of clear Teflon heat shrink tubing. Underneath the outside layer of TFT wrap, each of four silver foil conductors is left bare for 2" or so, then separately wrapped for the balance of 2M length. For the run to the amp the two finished cables are separated by 3"-4".
Silver now trades for around $17/oz, as compared to $23/oz for the drawn foils from Rio Grande. To put it mildly, this is a modest premium to pay relative to typical mark-up over COGs by audio cable manufacturers. At 2M length these DIY cables contain 1.5 lbs. of silver.
