Ben,

Be prepared for a great variety of answers. The most vigorous replies will
be from those who say that all wire sounds the same, so long as its size is
sufficient, and that those who say different are totally wrong. There may
or may net be replies from those who feel that "audiophile" wire (made and
sold for audio) will sound better. As for me I believe some of the audio
wire sounds better, but not by much, and price is not necessarily a guide.
Some years ago I had a friend with a magnificent sounding system who used
12/3 romex, swearing it was the best wire he had found. The hardware store
is not a bad route. My only caveat is that solid core wire can break if
flexed too often.

If it breaks a thousand times it's still cheaper than audiophile wire.
