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?

There is no reason it should not work. Let us know what the results are good or bad. Have you ever seen the Nordost Magic interconnects? The cables looks just like the Flatline speaker cable. If they are not the same, they are very close.
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.
Sugarbrie is correct about Nordost Magic -- it is the same
cable as Nordost flatline. I own both, and have read
press releases from around 1996 when this cable came to
market. So, yes - you can!
Thanks for the responses. Then we all should be able to make cheap IC out of bulk speaker cables for a lot less than buying already-made ICs.

BTW, from the picture of Kimber PBJ, what is the 3rd run used for if 2 runs are for "hot" and "ground"? I trying to mimic Jon Risch's DIY unbalanced connection using coax which only requires 2 separate conductors for each single IC.
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.
