Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Unbelievable:

Just found out that a budget amp which is getting good reviews from its customer base and is something like 200+ @8ohms and has about a 400va transformer SHIPS with an 18g a power cord.
It helps a little that this amp is a MONOBLOC.

I'll be honest and disclose that in a recent UPGRADE cycle, I briefly considered 4 of these guys to biamp my panels.

When I questioned this choice, I was shot down. I mean REALLY. My table and stand LAMPS have 18ga or perhaps 16ga power cords.

When I suggested AT LEAST 14ga and no smaller than 16ga, one of the engineers entered the discussion and said that '18 was plenty'.

WOW!
Too much is never enough
