Best interconnects for Velodyne DD series

Athough frequency spektra is narrow for a sub I´m sure there
are better and worse IC:s., questions is how much.
Is silver better than copper considering reproduction of signals origin.
What about overtones (although less distinguishable than midrange), how much impact on soundstage, details etc. (not talking about placement of sub).
Anyone with experience I´d really apreciate your thoughts.

Many Thanks!

Clabe, Woops, I had forgotten. I guess it's time for me to try some fresh ideas rather than recycle. Thanks for recommending those Duelund resistors!

If you're thinking of expensive ICs then go the distance and replace the stock internal speaker wire between the plate amp and the woofer. For my DD-15 I used a DIY silver litz braid, but any high-quality speaker wire will be an improvement. Replace the cheap connectors on the plate amp with directly soldered connections. Also, if you have a balanced preamp and a long cable run you can try a LF Jensen Isomax transformer at the sub for XLR/RCA conversion and galvanic isolation. Finally, if you're handy, for a big improvement replace the 4-pin rectifier bridge on the plate amp with a bridge made of Cree Schottky SiC diodes.
