Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire.


In the search for good speaker wire that doesn't break the bank, I came across a forum where one guy asserted that solid copper door bell wire would be the same as the solid copper wire that costs big bucks. The wire in question is 18 gauge. Can anyone out there confirm or rebut this assertion?

I've got Audio Research D-51 tube amp, Audible Illusions Modulus tube pre-amp, Rogers L2sa speakers, Oppo BDP95 CD and Project Expression III Classic turntable with Sumiko Pearl cartridge.

All I know is I can hear a significant difference between cables on my system, even 12 gauge monster cable from best buy, I can hear a difference between 5ft,6ft, 8 ft even with this cable, going from Tara Labs the one cable system to the zero gold, omega gold, cobalt power cord was a revelation I will not forget, was huge!
Al, you read my minds on that one!!!!

The difference is cheap tweaks are well cheap and less risky.

Expensive tweaks are well expensive and hence more risky unless one is certain of the results beforehand, which is often NOT the case.

By definition, it is NOT the case with a "skeptic".

So one can make of it as they would from there.
