    Another great option for those that want to make their own cables.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Bought these cables with these RCAs about two months ago and have been very happy.
    Enjoy!

    I have no experience with Tekline but I'm running these with the original SC-5 speaker cables. The SE version not quite in the budget yet. I sold my AQ CV-6 for these and don't have regrets. Different but a matter of taste IMO not so much better or worse.

    When the money permits, I plan to make the jump also to the hot rodded sc-5 se speaker cables. But it wont be until a month or two. To many purchases in a short period of time might upset the boss(fiance). She bought the ps audio dac for my birthday. Got to admit, a woman who can appreciate a man's audio hobby is a keeper! She doesnt care to sit and listen much but she understands. And that is all I ask for, alittle understanding. lol

    My favorite RCA plug to date is the Luminous Audio Locking RCA. Tim was a genius when he designed the plug as it is thick silver plating over low conductivity and impure brass. This makes the plug easy and cheap to manufacture, and the signal is conducted through the silver giving you a great sound. These are what I now use in all my RCA terminations, and haven't found a better sound; or look for that matter.
