Well I have had a some requests for SDA IC's, and this is what I have to offer:) I finally decided to offer these to Polkies. These are made from Silver plated copper 16ga wire with Teflon insulation. I am not one to build my cables up with fluff like big fat ~M~ style fat insulation. I think the originals are 18ga. Please correct me if I am am wrong. The "RCA" solution is a pretty weak one seeing that most RCA IC's are 22ga, or less. Most generics are 26ga. I am offering these at $45 shipped. I feel this is more than fair.

If you want big fat impressive cables please let me know. I will make big fat pigs out of these, and charge more;)
Thanks

    Ben,

    You need to sell these cables on Flea Prey

    maybe you should include a picture of a Pin/Blade socket and tell your potential buyers that if they have a pair of Polk SDA speakers with this type of connection on the back that they need your cable!

    Sal

    Yes I do:)

    Ben just shipped me one today. So as soon as I hook it up I will review it.

    It will need some burn in, but first impression would be cool to hear about. This cable construction will take longer to burn in than the IC's I sell;)

    It takes no time to build, but shipping is tough with my schedule. Sometimes it is the next day, and sometimes it is a week. I don't sell any parts. I can, and plenty of others here can help you find parts:)

    Thanks Ben. Either way I will need a cable, sounds like I could use a modified RCA cable if need be until I received yours if indeed I am able to score the SDA.

    WOuld order now but that would jinx the deal.:mad:

    If I score I will be asking about parts and process for XOs.

    Picked one of these up from Ben - ordered it on Thursday and I had it Monday. Thanks again Ben for getting it out so quickly.

    As Ben stated earlier in the thread, don't judge this I/C by your first impression. Initially, the highs got worse and the mids were kind of muddled, but after a few hours everything started to open up. I listened again this morning and I thought I had some new speakers. Huge improvement across the board!

    Thanks again Ben!
