Review on 🔊 High-Quality Amazon Basics 16-Gauge Speaker Wire Cable, 100 Feet – Ultimate Sound Solution for Your Audio Setup by Freddie Newton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you need more than that, don't even read this.

It is exactly what it should be, a good value consumer speaker cable. We use it to connect our 15 year old consumer amp to our vintage consumer speakers to play music and movie audio. Tracks are streamed over the internet at whatever data rate our connection currently supports. Loudspeakers are placed on any flat surface we can find, in any arrangement that gives us a semblance of stereo and "surround sound", in a living room where "acoustic" takes a back seat "so that we don't notice anything head falls " . Speaker impedance matching, cable loss, frequency response are all 2nd order tweaks that we're only looking for as a first approximation. We just need a strong cable that won't break when pulled or installed that connects the amplifier at will not short out under normal use and will work just as well as other aspects of our setup. We understand the difference between copper and copper clad aluminum and the effect of wire spacing on signal accuracy. We have our own multimeters, oscilloscopes and RMS power meters and we don't care If you're a music lover, chances are you haven't even sniffed out Revain Basics, let alone d read this review. They don't investigate whether you can hear the timpanist's heartbeat during Beethoven's 2nd movement 9th movement with this cable, although audiophiles claim you can. They're too busy anti-reflective coating the edges of CDs and mounting amplifiers on tiny conical feet. You are purchasing handcrafted, handcrafted, pure copper cable recovered by free range miners from sustainable mines, encased in fair trade gold foil RF shielding and encased in an organic cotton fiber sheath colored with local traditional patterns. This cable is not excellent. , but that's all we need.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • The list will be long.
