Home Depot speaker cable, which one to buy

thanks Paul for taking the time to post!

It seems you could go out and buy some 12 or 14 gauge wire anywhere and get good results but I will go to Home Depot and see what they have.

As one person mentioned the DIY White Lightning recipe works well. Basically patio extension cord from Wal-Mart:

Also, these are on my radar to try: http://www.tempoelectric.com/cables.htm

I bought the Woods Yard Master Patio Cord to make the White Lightning but have a question.

Is it important that the wire is used in the manner explained? In other words, I would like to use two leads of one cable to run to the positives of one speaker and two leads on another cable to run the negative leads (bi wire config) instead of green and white together for positive and black alone for ground.

I presume this would mess up the capacitance and resistance of the official White Lightning formula but thought it would be worth asking as it would make it easier to run the wire.

thanks again guys!

Philojet, only way to find out is to try. I did a double run using all three conductors for the positive and negative and thought it sounded fine, but really no better than the original formula.

thanks Clio09 I hooked it up using the 6moons config.

I just twisted the ends together (without tinning the ends) and cut it into 8' bi wire runs to my Audio Note kit3 speakers.

Initial impressions of the White Lightning with only 30 minutes on them is:

nice midrange tone with good inner detail, slightly rolled off in the highs, the bass is a bit loose, overall nice tone and very listenable.

Not a major differance from my Audio Note Lexus bi wire cable.

I will give further impressions comparing it to the Morrow SP1 I have coming in a few weeks.
