Here yah go:
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $15.30 66% Off | High Quality Hifi RCA Cable Accuphase 40th Anniversary Edition RCA Interconnect Audio Cable Gold plated plug
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mt6paWY
There have been times when they'd be found on eBay by a domestic seller, unfortunately I couldn't find them listed moments ago. Yet as stated, while I've owned a total of 6 pairs of pure copper IC's costing between $398-$600-$945 and tapping out at $1200, as I recall it, very very few of them even remotely came close to the sense of balance in which these cheap cables offer, maybe?, and I'm only guessing here, but maybe the method used in assembling | shielding these is far more advanced than said earlier techniques?, all I can say it that I'm digging them a lot.
And reading between the lines as shown here:
Tell Tale Signs Of Pure Greed:

Our Linx Diamond is our very best expression of the art. Made up of multiple 8N ULTRA PURE OFC copper conductor stranding component with multiple minimum "tolerable" 16AWG finalized "cores" that are covered in 85 microns of compressed silver. 10 of these finalized cores are used in the construction of our Linx Diamond.
We then hand knit these cores together using Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) insulators. Precise double layer micro-space insulation is employed.
Then we sheath these 10 hand-knitted cores into a beautiful finished product that defies description. The Carbon Fiber Connectors are as beautiful as they are functional - no expense was spared here. The level of fit and finish is on par with cables costing 5 to 10x the price. The Linx Diamond is our all-out assault on the high-end cable industry but at an Underwood Direct to You "Market Price" that defines who we are.

I'm to assume someone else has found said design concept to be worthy as well, as indicated by the prices shown. The only difference in which I came across was the use of some form of Furutech Carbon Fiber Rhodium Plated RCA Connectors, of which I've read in more than one occasion many have come to prefer the Chinese cloned version of these as well, stating they offer a less colored HiFi type signature as offered in the original version, of which I purchased a set of these years ago, as well as their matching locking banana plugs where both are extremely well made.
