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 Kimber PBJ is the same basic seperate conductors as the 4TC,$TC just has more of them and perhaps slightly larger gauge. You will just have to be careful with which conductors you select as you drain wires since you don't have three different colors of conductor to make it as obvious. You can then name them yourself. Perhaps a term evryone agrees on what it means like PBJ "shotgun"! They should sound alot like the Kimber PBJ.
The third conductor in PBJ is a drain(sort of a shield wire) wire which is connected only at the source end to the "ground" side or the RCA. I hope someone will correct me if this is wrong.
I was not sure and Sean may be correct, the only pair of PBJ I have around are in a system I put together for my Wife and have a stupid DIN plug on one end to hook up a "normal RCA" CD player to an old Naim Nate.(NAD cd,Nate,Rogers Ls35a)I don't want to fiddle around in that DIN to see what is going on.Off the subject, this little "Britt" system is alot of fun! Tally ho!
