Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable


I was wondering if anyone who has actually tried this themselves could comment on the results. I currently use 14g Monster wire with mostly McIntosh tube gear.

What might I expect to sound different?

Is it the "Rigid" brand that Home Depot sells that people use?

What do you do with the third wire?

Any other constructive feedback will be appreciated as well. Thanks,
Bill

I made a pair, with the Rigid brand extention cord. They worked fine, I for one have never been able to "hear" a difference between speaker cables once I got away from "rca zip cord" and cheap monster cable.
The third wire should be clipped back as far as you can in the covering, the cognicetti "in the know" about the differences of speaker cable say it then acts as a diletric, transducer what ever...:)
