You've confirmed my suspicions.
The cables are indeed brick red and $2 a foot would put my set at about $100 retail, as a friend suggested. I won't mention the name of the Audioquest rep who got my hopes up.

Help me identify my Audioquest Speaker Cables
I received these on a trade. Picture in my "Getting Started" Systems post.
Audioquest rep says they are AQ Red from several years ago and sold for $500/pr. Supposed to have "Surface Only" conductors, a plastic center section wrapped by multi-stranded wires. A high end product from back in the day.
Friend in the biz says no way, Audioquest Ruby, sold for maybe $100/pr at best.
Trying to figure out whether to use them or sell them to fund a set of decent interconnects.
My system is in pieces at the moment, so no listening tests.
Can anyone here shed some light on these fat red cables?
