Hi all,

Does anyone have any speaker cables that they are not using? I need some for a bedroom system. I will be using a tripath amp so will ideally need something terminated at at least one end. I will only need a couple of metres for each cable. Give me a shout if you have anything suitable gathering dust.

I have two 3 meter runs of Ixos silver coated OFC. Bare ends at the moment. I've ordered banana plugs but they won't be here for a week or so. Screw fixing.
Expensive cable new so asking £35 posted. Extra if plugs are fitted.

A bit on the pricey side for my current needs, Mike. Thanks for the offer though.

2m in total or each cable? Are they terminated?

I'm not too fussy about the plugs, Grant - it is just so i can listen to my 45s while i get ready in the morning. Give ,me a shout when you have had a chance to find them and let me know how much you are looking for for them.

No probs. Might even use them as a bi wire yet.

They are actually 3meter each. Sorry. Got voso 24k plugs on. May be too big for you. Dunno what postage is but happy to do them for 20 plus post. Probably a fiver. If more I will pay the extra

I'll have a measure up when i get home tonight, Grant. They look good in principle though.

Van damme 2.5 is ok... Probably not as good as talk but thats subjective..the thicker 6.3 is much better. The other ive not seen..may be chinese..dunno

These are going to be a bit too long, Grant. Thanks for the offer though.
