Review on 50Ft Gauge Speaker Wire Connecting Home Audio by Runbi Alvarez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

COMPLETE SCAM - DO NOT BUY!

Please, to avoid disappointment that you don't get what is shown and what you pay for, go through this and find something else. I got this "14 gauge" cable today and it's not even close. According to AWG (American Wire Gauge) charts, 14 ga stranded wire is 0.073 inch or 1.8542 mm in diameter. .043" LESS than 18 gauge wire. 18 gauge wire is .048" in diameter. So this bullshit isn't even 18 gauge, it's somewhere around 19 gauge. A good 14 gauge wire should be made out of about 45- 50 strands of 30 gauge and ideally about 100-110 strands of 30 gauge 34 gauge wire Why, you may ask, does this matter?The wire carries electrons well to its "skin" or its "Outer" area. So the more filaments there are, the greater the surface area, which means a better flow of electrons (signal) that the amp outputs to the speakers. a to point b (amplifier to speaker). This firm should feel embarrassed when she omits e.g. 18 gauge wire instead of 14 gauge wire I was so frustrated with this practice and my findings that I didn't even want to measure the overall length on the spool to see if it was 100 Foot was or not. My instinct probably doesn't say. AMAZ ON should withdraw it from sale immediately. Selling such a product is against the law. Many, like me, buy at a performance-based price point and don't have the technical knowledge to even know they've been robbed. I DO! I will try to consider other things. I buy them like so often. And I'll go back a few months to review the things I missed. Perhaps I will be an adviser to some. G

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
