A high amp rated power cord is made of thick AWG wire and will indeed make a good speaker cable. The primary concern with speaker cables is something that makes a good contact at each end and has low resistance. Some power cables may be a bit too stiff and may not have enough individual strands to make excellent contact - so be careful.
Converting Power Cords into Speaker Cables?
Someone very knowledgeable in high end audio swears that instead of buying more expensive speaker cables, it's more cost effective to look for power cords of the same cable and use it as speaker wires. He has very successfully done this with Vahalla power cord and found no sonic difference between the original Vahalla speaker cables and one he made from Vahalla power cord. He is now applying his creativity to other brands. The advantage is considerable cost savings but downside is when you want to sell these reconverted cables. Your views are appreciated. Anyone tried this trick? Any technical/cable geometry flaws in doing this?
