During my "I quit smoking so I am allowed to spend $$$$ and build a 2 channel system" crazyness last week I bought these for the SDA 1B's; paid $127 shipped at ebay.

Please tell me that I did not throw my money away....

Ricardo.

    Those are EXCELLENT cables! They should reveal a LOT of detail with a nice top end.

    Looks like Audioquest Type 4 wire, with silver connectors. Not sure on the spades, but the banannas look like BFA. If I recall correctly these sell for around $200 a pair, and get pretty good reviews. I assume they have a website, if you want to know more about their construction.

    Yep, Type 4's are highly regarded as "the best cheap speaker cable on the market" (stereophile).

    Good stuff, I ran Type 4 in a biwired config (2 pairs) for about 2 years. It's good cable---but you'd definitely like Granite or Bedrock better, a little more fleshed out midrange and deeper, better controlled bass.

    Unfortunately that is something I am NOT good at.....sometimes I just follow impulses and then realize it was not such a good idea. The good thing though is that at least I got started, and in general seems I made not so bad choices...... the other good thing? You always have the opportunity to UPGRADE :D:D
