In the year 2000 while in cheapskate mode, I opted for a roll (50 feet?) of Radio Shack 14 gauge flat speaker wire ($20), part no. 2781273. Also 12 or 16 gauge gold spades ($5 for four) part nos. 2780311 or 2780316. My splurge included their crimping tool ($6) no. 6400404.
Because the wire is flat ribbon pair it flexes nicely. I crimped, soldered and biwired it to attain capable but unremarkable results. The wire is clear too so you can see the thick retangular shiny copper inside. Can't say whether RS still stocks these numbers.
In 2001, I went crazy after stumbling over a local Kimber dealer with an outdated price list. Together we unspooled 49 feet of new Kimber 4TC for $147. The Kimber took a little bigger bite of the signal, making it clearer. The rest is history.
