I am in the plumbing business sort of speak. I install and service underground sprinkler systems so plumbing is part of my job. I know the copper has to meet a standard as far a strength but I am not all that sure about the quality of the copper itself. I just know it has to be able to be sweated to(soldered). Other than that who knows but as for a ground buss it has always been fine. It measures "0" ohms from end to end.

If your amplifiers are reasonably close to your speakers, you might want to try it as speaker wire. If you do, let us know. I actually think it might be excellent. The cool thing is that it is stiff enough to travel in mid-air from amp to speaker, so no danger of fouling AC cords, etc.
I was never a believer of all that about the speaker wires and IC's being elevated. Maybe I'm off base but there is nothing out there to justify it as being credible. But if you hear a difference then you do. Who am I to say. I tried things with that theory and never heard any difference whatsoever.
I was not referring to any virtue or lack of same associated with elevating wires above the floor per se. I was referring to the very real issue that sometimes pertains if your amplifiers are close to your speakers, wherein the AC cords feeding your amplifiers can run close to your input ICs and/or the output speaker wires. I think we all can agree it is not best practice to have an AC cord running parallel in close proximity to either an IC or speaker wire.
I totally agree with you on the other issue; I have never been able to hear a difference, either. A close friend of mine who buys into almost any tweak and who owns some expensive platforms designed to elevate his ICs off the floor, sheepishly admitted to me that he could hear no difference in his system, with vs without the elevators.
