Home Depot Power Cord?


Hello, we all heard about the success with Home Depot's electrical extension cord used by DIY's for speaker wire.
Has any one tried to make a power cord with it?
I would assume that the lower the guage the better the performance, so if one selects a 7 guage extension cord it should be pretty good for low capacitance and open sound with wide sounstage.

I recently wanted to install a couple of rear speakers in a home theatre system and did not want to run speaker wire around, up, and over the room. So, and in an effort to economize, I bought the Home Depot cord and ran it down through the floor behind the amp, through my crawl space, and then up through the floor near the speakers. Works great.

I recently built one of the Lenco turntable projects with my son and we used the Carol cord, as mentioned by Vegasears, and terminated with a Levition industrial-grade plug. Very nice, indeed.
