for the Cat5 Speaker Cable


These cables provided the sound I was after and it didn't cost me anything but time. I have installed many cat5 networks over the last 10 years and I had a ton of this stuff laying around in shorter lengths. Thanks for saving my ears from lousy speaker cables.
All of my equipment is old but in great shape and it has a sound that I was always pleased with. I have listened to a lot of "new" stuff but it just doesn't do it for me.
My office is small so the two pairs of JBL's (50W max) are plenty loud enough.


Product Weakness: time consuming but worth it.
Product Strengths: cheap, easy
