Speaker Cable for Interconnect


I have some left over short runs of Kimber 4TC and Nordost Flatline speaker cables that I would like to make IC out of them. Jon Risch DIY recommend Belden 89259 coax for both DIY speaker and IC so I figure why can't I use what I have. Any suggestion or consideration on sound quality and what to watch out for before I start?

The Nordost will be clean, open and musical, but a little thin. You can fix that if you run them shot gun. They are not that easy to work with. You need a sharp razor blade, a good cutting board and patience. The Kimber may be better. Get some good RCA's and solder away. I used Nordost for years then went over to Supra from Sweden for speakers and ICs. Call if you want some advice, I have been making wires for 15 years.
