In Reply to: Absolute sound tested the HD 14 Home depot cables posted by Michael Samra on May 21, 2016 at 22:59:12:
I used the wire in these HD outdoor extension cords as speaker cables for years after reading that Absolute Sound review (by Paul Seydor). Definitely better sounding than the kimber I'd been using. We called them "halloween cables" because of their black-and orange PVC covers -- I hid mine in Techflex. But not being into audiophile stuff (I can't imagine why), Home Depot switched suppliers and the last time I checked, their 14 gauge cables didn't look like the ones I used.
What the hell, maybe the new ones sound better. I kinda doubt they'd beat my Clear Day Double Shotguns, but I guess stranger things have happened.
