That was a superb catch!

Every single one of them was using Nordost Quatrophil, and Nordost SPM speaker cable. Every one of them.

Mickelson:
"I used the MA-1 Mk II.2 amps along with a glut of other equipment, all of which would be considered logical mates with the amps. Speakers were from Wilson Audio, the mighty WATT/ Puppy 6 and Sophia, as well as the Mirage OM-5, all of which worked well with the amps. Preamps were the Audio Research Reference Two Mk II and Lamm L2 Reference. I used a Mark Levinson No.39 as both a standalone CD player and transport, in which case it fed a Bel Canto DAC1.1. Interconnects and speaker cables were either Nordost SPM Reference and Quattro-Fil, Ensemble Dynaflux and Megaflux, or Acoustic Zen Silver Reference and Hologram. Power cords were a variety of models from Shunyata Research, whose Hydra distributed power to the components that needed it. Amps for comparison were primarily my reference Lamm ML2 monoblocks, which is a SET design -- another tube-amp sub-category -- and to a lesser extent the Audio Research VTM200 monos."
