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?

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!

YBA uses the diamond cables to create their interconnects, power cables and speaker cables...

I'm sure you you could do this with other cables...

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.
