I used to make my own interconnects using Kimber AGSS, which the Silverstreak has ONE strand of. (Mine had two.) Then I tried Stealth cables--and I have a ton of Kimber AGSS on my hands that isn't good for any audio purpose (though some "name brand" companies still use it for internal wiring, in upgrades even.) Stealth cables come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If I were you, I'd feel lucky that the Silverstreak option fell through, and try one or more of the Stealth interconnects--see www.interlinkhouse.com. I like both cross-wrapped copper and cross-wrapped ribbon a lot.
