Cinnamon:
SOLID 1.25% SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like USB audio. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.

Forest:
Audioquest Forest Firewire uses Solid LGC conductors, which greatly improve high frequency performance for a fraction of the cost of solid silver. Solid High-Density Polyethylene is used to minimise loss caused by insulation and to insure critical geometry stability. An RF Stopper helps prevent interference problems.
