I found a B/B cable i don't need.Is it the same as a pin/blade.I will just cut off the B/B and put RCA's on the ends if the cable is the same.
Anyone sure?
It sure looks the same.

I would sell that cable in the forum or off this thread to help one who needs that special type ends and make a Pin cable from some other source.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

As Tony said sell the original cable if you don't need or want it and build or have someone (pepster) build you one. I modded two of my SDA's and use binding post's for my SDA cables. I also have original Polk blade/blade pin/blade and a A1 SDA cables in my goodie box just in case I ever need them, but I do have 4 sets of SDA's as well..

Did you use RCA or bananas on the ends after installing binding posts?Main Rig-Realistic AM/FM Record player 8 track boasting 4 WPC

I wish you would do this Mike!
Then it is just a matter of a banana plug on both ends (a good one at that)!
Plus, you could use HUGE wire (11 ga XLO or 10 ga something else)!Testing

Bananas!!
On the A1 Dreadnaught I built I use a Banana for the SDA and a Spade for the negitive side.. I will try and post some pics later.. -

Larry your rings are no minor little tweak, One of the best ideas around here and well worth the coin.I found a B/B cable i don't need.Is it the same as a pin/blade.I will just cut off the B/B and put RCA's on the ends if the cable is the same.

Don't do it, I think the original Blade/blade cables are very hard to come by. I would just modify an RCA cable for right now (there cheap and easy) to get by on. You can make up a really good one later, with banana plugs and 10ga wire.“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ~ Mark Twain -
Sounds like modifying this cable would be blasphemy so i will see baout selling it to a polkie that really needs an original B/B.
Thanks for all the great input.Main Rig-Realistic AM/FM Record player 8 track boasting 4 WPC
