RE: home depot thermostat wire

Most notable is the purity of the conductor, how it's annealed, the design of the dielectric (insulation), and how a particular cable geometry is better optimized for audio applications, with understanding of LCR, cable resonance control, and RFI/EMI noise rejection/suppression issues. Designing products that simply sound better from a sophisticated perspective (delivers audiophile listening cues) is a primary goal.

Cables intended for audiophile use tend to sound better than hardware store wire which simply passes safe voltage and amperage ratings. Audio cable applications tend to be very sensitive to various subjective issues, which makes the audiophile quest so fascinating if you're not too afraid of slipping down the rabbit hole. It's a great hobby if you appreciate listening to good audio playback.

Cheers, Duster
