    For an original keep checking eBay.

    A lot of us get rid of the pin/blade cable and sockets. We replace with high quality speaker cable and Neutrik SpeakOn connectors/sockets. There's plenty of info here on that.

    Search at the top for SDA Speakon. It should give you lots of information. Here is one post from one of our most respected SDA mod guys, RIP sadly.

    I believe the signal is only sent via the pin so you could use a single strand of good quality copper speaker wire and install a good quality banana terminal. Don't quote me on this as I'm sure someone on here will correctly profusely if I'm wrong.

    Yes you can do that, only the pin carries the signal. But you must grind off the grounding pedals on the RCA connector to allow the pin to get into the socket. I ran mine like that for a long time. The only problem is you MUST use a common ground amp.
