SDA 2B Blade/Blade Interconnect Help

[ksterz]

Hi Polkies,

I've finally got my hands on a pair of SDA speakers! The 20 year wait is over and I can now retire my Monitor 7s that have served me well. That said, I just purchased a set of SDA 2Bs with the Blade/Blade interconnect. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the interconnect cable, so I plan on making one myself. However, I've been searching the forums, but there seems to be some differing opinions regarding the construction of these cables. What I really need to know is: Does large blade go to large blade, and small blade to small blade? Or, is it the other way around? Thanks for any help/advice. I'm not the most technically savvy person, so I want to get this right before diving in.

Can't wait to hear these beauties sing!

Does large blade go to large blade, and small blade to small blade? Or, is it the other way around?

I've been wondering the answer to this as well, and suddenly realized I could check. On my original blade-blade IC cable, both the 200kOhm and 2000kOhm ranges showed zero resistance from big-to-big and small-to-small on my cheap analog multimeter (and some useless reading that apparently equals infinity on the big-small combos).

So yes, large blade to large blade unless I've really messed up something in my measurement...and if you want to fab your own, it appears the current equivalent for the ends can be found at http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/pro...px?SKU=7500201

I built my own with Mouser supplied Jones Plugs and 20 feet of 12 AWG wire.
