Review on πŸ”Š High-Quality Amazon Basics 16-Gauge Speaker Wire Cable, 100 Feet – Ultimate Sound Solution for Your Audio Setup by Walter Day

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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

This is exactly what it should be - an inexpensive consumer speaker cable. We use it to connect our 15 year old consumer amp to our vintage consumer speakers to play music and movie soundtracks 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 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, which won't damage the amplifier in normal use shorts out and it works just as well as other aspects of our setup. We understand the difference between copper and copper clad aluminum and the effect of wire size on signal accuracy. We have our own multimeters, oscilloscopes and RMS power meters and we don't care. If you If you're a music lover, you probably haven't even snooped around on Revain Basics, let alone these reviews read on. They don't investigate whether you can hear the timpani player's heartbeat during Beethoven's 2nd movement 9th movement with this cable, although audiophiles claim it is possible. 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 wrapped in an organic cotton fiber sheath colored with local traditional patterns. This cable is not excellent. , but that's all we need.
