Still works! ; ) It does look like one, doesn’t it? Should have plugged in something fancier for the photo. Actually I do have a lot of those grey ones from various Sony products over the years, which I’ve always liked for their flexibility and fit. But I think they’re mostly 18 gauge, this one is heavier than that. I should put some braided sleeving on it and gold plate the ends. Then it would be a $1k cord ; )
