    Yup. No doubt about, you guys need a Speakon cable group buy!
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Speakon connectors are the way to go. I first remember seeing them being used on professional audio speakers and amps back in the late 90's to early 2000 or so.

    Wow, didn't realize speakon has been around since 1987. Apparently, QSC were some of the first amps to use them. Any other oldtimers here remember when they first saw them?

    I am sure Frank would be happy to do a group speakon cable deal, just got a few emails form him the other day, he had been making me a magic power cable and some source ones, had not tried his power cables yet and wanted to try one on my new Tube amp.
    both him & Doug are awesome to deal with so I give both some of my business.

    It is best to use whatever speaker cable you are running for the SDA cable as well. It only makes sense when you think about it.

    You have a way of putting it so it makes sense :)

    so its like when I think I heard you say to use matching IC's to your speaker cables?

    I am going to be using speakon connections for the sda connections as well as the connections from the amp to the speaker.

    This would be good wire to group buy for the speakon, it's 12awg 4 conductor with a thick durable rubber shell for only $1 a foot.

    This 100 post thing is so assinine. I have been on this forum for well over 10 years. I am a rather shy guy and I only post if I absolutely have to. I have bought other things from the famous toolman and DK long before alot of these people but yet I get hassled every time I try to post anything. Of course I would like one of your cases. Can you post it on the vintage forum also I really would like to read the details for myself. I think I want Posts and not speakons on mine. I like to switch cables. I am also interested in tweeter brackets and crossover brackets. Thanks.

    P.S. I have had a set of SDA SRS's since 1988 and I am not worthy to be able to pot how sad.

    Yeah it is a little frustrating, but I can understand the reasoning of both sides. Nothing I can do but deal with it.

    I too would like to see all the details of the thread and what others are talking about regarding the cases, but just PM'ed Larry instead and got a prompt reply.

    I say the three of us go have a pointless 300 post discussion about something pointless in the clubhouse because it appears trolling the forum is a prerequisite to viewing the classified section.

    Does the case thread need to sit in the flea market? Why not just put it in Vintage Speakers like this thread?

    I really did not try to start something. I thought I was replying to Larry only. That sign up date for the club was the second time because for some reason I could not log on with my first sign up no matter what I tried so I just started over. I have a first edition of DK's SDA Compendium that I believe I bought under my first sign up name for proof and I read the viage forums for years without signing up. Just saying.

    As a noob myself I've run up against the same rules as far as access to the classifieds. I will say that every member I've contacted via PM has been responsive and has help mitigate that deficiency on my post count. Other than accidently stepping on the toes of 1 senior member in my exuberance, I'm getting around, finding the info and support I need to move my suite of speakers towards ultimate performance levels.

    Not to blow hot air up anyone's skirt but its the strength of those with knowledge and their willingness to share and support the neophites that make a strong community. I've had nothing but positive interactions will all I've dealt with. A real testament to a thriving, relevant enthusiast community.

    Rock on!

    Back on subject, for those up us who are not worthy, here is a thread that shows the amazing cases that Larry makes. They will be all black anodized but other than that the same
