Home Depot standard copper 14 gauge insulated house wire. Twisted pairs( I buy red and black). Clean, dynamic clear sound. Best for less. Try it.
Plain old common cheap HOME DEPOT solid copper #14 insulated HOUSE WIRE. I choose red and black color for phasing purposes. Wrap one end of the 8 foot pair around a door knob stand 8 feet back and TWIST these approximately 3" twists. The result is an phenonenal revealing sound that is ultra clear,rich and with fantastic PRAT. TRY IT you'll love these. Beats multi thousand dollar speaker wires. COST IS LESS THAN $1.00. What do you have to loose? I would appreciate a other members to try this easy upgrade. I have used this wire for years and have no desire for any other.Remember use only SOLID not stranded. Stranded wire causes multiple phase shifts and energy loses.
Duanegoosen: I recently replaced my #14 guage HOME DEPOT solid core plastic insulated 115 AC volt HOUSE WIRE speaker cables with #12(thicker diameter) guage and I noticed a dramatic improvement. I am now using a SINGLE WIRE #14 guage 115 AC Volt HOME DEPOT solid copper house wire to replace all my RCA coaxial signal cables. IT IS ASTOUNDING. These 20 cent/foot (#14) cables will out perform ANY CABLES regardless of price. Howeve,r these heavy solid cooper cables exhibit DIRECTIVITY, that is, you must test each piece or wire (with audio signal) and then reverse the piece, to determine which way the wire sounds better. ALSO, you do not need any end connectors. SIMPLY strip off about 1 1/2 inches from the end and then completely bend back the end of the wire onto itself about 3/4 inch. THEN take a pair pliers and tightly crimp the folded end. This is the center plug. YOU MUST then ground together the preamp and amp and tuner chassis using any kind of wire. There is no need for any shielding. This type of cable is similar in concept to the 47 LABS Stratos silver wire that costs $600.
