Listerner57 - My total cost was $96 plus $12 shipping, the same price I won the auction for and normal shipping cost. Audiometallurgy was happy to accommodate my request since it actually saved them a pair of connectors.
Regarding designing a subwoofer cable, my thoughts on that are they design it leaving out materials that they think are unnecessary to LF conduction, so it is less expensive to produce. But any interconnect in one's system, say connecting amp and preamp or CD player and preamp, ideally should conduct a full signal. So it seems to me that any good normal IC will be a good subwoofer cable too. I didn't mention it in my thread post, but I had a chance to try an MIT Shotgun S1 IC and it was great. I didn't want to pay for it however, which is why I have Audiometallurgy ICs (GA-0s) throughout my system, which I think comes as close to the neutrality and resolution power of MIT as I've heard.
The main thing I think is important is that using some silver in the sub cable doesn't seem like a concept that's fully developed yet. I don't know why it's so (not having access to testing facilities), but my experience with silver blends has been that it tightens bass and makes it more musical.
