I am looking for ideas / suggestions for a DIY interconnect for my SDA 1c's. I am currently using a piece of 12 gauge speaker wire ( one lead of the two ) terminated with banana plugs. The 1c's have Cardas binding posts for the ic connection. Thoughts and suggestions??

    Me too for the CRS+. I am leaning towards Analysis Plus oval 12's or chocolate ovals, and matching speaker cables....Thoughts and suggestions for me too

    I picked up some bulk Alpha Core Goertz MI-1 on sale from Soniccraft and put together cables for one of my 2 channel rigs with my RTA 12c's. Only listened to them for about 2 hours but my initial thoughts are that I am pleased with them. Have to do some more listening but for $3.25 / foot I figured I could not go wrong. I am thinking about using that for an interconnect and for my SDA's.

    You should have used both runs of the 12 gauge, but to answer your question I believe it is best to use the same cable for the SDA cable as your speaker cables. Only makes sense, eh?

    Bruce, recycle the Cardas for another project, and put SpeakOns in. Use any wire you want, and like Jesse said, same wire for the speakers and Interconnect.
    Same goes for you Darryl

    Thanks gents. Me wife wanted to know what what I wanted for Christmas, sooooo I have 40 feet of the Goertz cable coming. I was wondering about using both runs for the ic and yes I will do that. Of course the speaker wires to the amp will be the same. THERE IS A SANTA CLAUSE :D
