You're telling me !


If someone tries to sell you expensive wire, claiming some esoteric
technology, make
a rude gesture and go to a hardware store. Copper is copper (for this
application, at least), so thicker is better, period.

Absolutely and the copper isn't made any better by being expensively
packaged and promoted with unscientific gobbledegook.

As you VERY correctly say, coppper is copper and that's all that
matters.

Some of the audophools are spending absurd sums for fancy _power cables!
_ The companies that exploit these people are careful not to mention the
miles of plain old, supplied-by-the-lowest-bidder wire between the wall
outlet and the generator. I wonder what would happen to an audiophool
who found out that much of the power entering his home is transmitted
through aluminum wire? Even if the local grid is all copper, those
highlines you see against the sky are all steel wire wrapped with
aluminum. One bright spot: I hear that the infamous $485 wooden volume
control knob is no longer offered.
