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 use it for my outdoor speakers. It is waterproof and works fine there. I just snip the third wire at each end and ignore it.

But I wouldn't think of using it inside, not when there's relatively inexpensive alternatives that make sense. Like Speltz cables and such. (I DIY my own stuff, which sometimes can end up more expensive than buying.)

But try it, and if you don't like it just throw them away. Not much lost.

Enjoy,
Bob
