Can u make interconnect from speaker cables


I haver a 26 foot pair of the CRL Silver speaker cables that I am not using- Can I cut them to length and reterminate them for use as Interconnects or are they completley different type of wires- thanks

@ schipo, If you do not like the answer thats your problem!, It makes no since, to cry over it on audiogon!
I have very successfully made speaker cables out of interconnect wire, to be precise Canare GS6. It is Sold by Canare primarily as guitar wire. It is made with a single stranded 18 awg OFC conductor in a teflon insulation and a braided copper shield. Works great for 3ft long speaker cables.

I am using the same wire for an interconnect, between my processor and pre-amp. This is not critical application in my system as pro is only used to decode the Dolby from TV into analog. But I must say other wires by Canare such as L-2T2S make a better interconnect.

So if you have a not so great interconnect wire you may be able to make speaker cables from it, but I doubt the opposite is possible.
