Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable


I was wondering if anyone who has actually tried this themselves could comment on the results. I currently use 14g Monster wire with mostly McIntosh tube gear.

What might I expect to sound different?

Is it the "Rigid" brand that Home Depot sells that people use?

What do you do with the third wire?

Any other constructive feedback will be appreciated as well. Thanks,
Bill

Thanks everyone for your responses. Can anyone speculate on the difference I would hear, if any, between the HD and my current Monster wire? Thanks,
Bill
Mac tube gear deserves better than HD DIY cable or Monster for that matter. That's like putting ketchup on a good steak. You would be better off spending $ on tube upgrades or better wire.
Steuspeed, have you heard them? When it costs less than 20 bucks to try them, why not? Paul Seydor in The Absolute Sound review found that they sounded every bit as good as the $400-500 cables he was testing at the time, and he was using a simple two-wire version.
I use them in my system and they sound wnderful - every bit as good as the high priced spread. I have and all Ayre system into Vandersteen 5A's
I agree with Steuspeed. You spent how much on your gear and you wish to fine tune it using HD wire?

I have used the HD wire, it is OK, not great. Give it a try though, as mentioned it is a cheap DIY project and is fun. If you don't have enough cash at the moment for better cables, this will hold you over. When you get ready to experiment with other cables, give the Cable Company a call and borrow cables to try from them.
