Review on Micca Pure Copper Speaker Wire with Gold-Plated Banana Plugs, 14 Gauge, 6ft (2m), Pair by Jake Jones

Hello! In the early 1980s, high-quality speaker cables came onto the market. Some of the product claims were absolutely incredible and had prices to match. And today we are told this nonsense. The audio cable must be burned in or run in for 100 hours. The best cable is cryogenically treated. Audio cables are directional. They need to be supported off the ground with isolators. They have damping factors. They must be "conditioned" to maintain the wire's molecular alignment. To the point of nausea. It's all snake oil meant to part the naïve shopper with his money. It's all nonsense! The only factor that affects the performance of an audio cable is the size of the cable for a given maximum distance between amplifier and speakers at a given impedance. When you get the right gauge, all audio cables sound the same!" Gordon Gow, then President of McIntosh Laboratories, which still makes high quality, world-class amplifiers, recognized that wire resistance was a critical factor in speaker cable, and used speaker wire. Demonstration , to demonstrate that there is no difference in listening between high quality audio cord and traditional line cord (lamp cord wire) 50 feet of wire was used for a blind comparison Setup consisted of a master relay control box and two slave relays Via a three position switch one of three different speaker cables of the same length was selected. One was an ordinary mains cable. The other two cables were from well-known high-end manufacturers. Speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms were selected for the test. The other two proprietary cables were heavier than the power cord.The test passed made his point. No one has heard NO DIFFERENCE with several different 8 ohm speakers.” - from "Speaker Wire", "History" by Roger Russell. This brings me to the pure copper speaker cable from the Micca Media series with gold-plated banana plugs. This is a high quality, well made and durable handcrafted audio cable at an affordable price. $19.99 for 2 meters (6.56 feet) and ($34.99 for 4 meters - 13 feet Out of stock?). That's all you really need for the best cable for your Hi-Fi system. No $1,000-a-foot audio cable performs better. Note. Banana plug tips add about an extra inch to the cables. I love this cable. That's easy on the wallet. I also intend to order another pair for my living room speaker system. Steve Franks
