Poor Monster...I was using some very old Monster for a long time
Some force keeps my monster cable under the bed... can't get it out, so have just accepted it.

Man, it was bad enough when people put the green Sharpie on their CDs...I was using some very old Monster for a long time, then it all turned GREEN !
All of my clear jacketed Monsters have done the same thing.I was using some very old Monster for a long time, then it all turned GREEN !
Maybe so Gene, but it sure looked like SchiitI would be willing to bet that for any kind of reasonable cable length it would not make more than minor milliohms of resistance change.
Never heard of them in 1979It does look disgusting. Usually the clear PVC gets yellowed too.
Ya shoulda bought Belden or Canare

Where would you terminate the shield to chassis/earth ground?...Is there such a thing as shielded speaker cable?...
As a matter of practice, I always insert a couple ferrite beads (@speaker end), in case placebo gremlins are on the assault.Years ago, my neighbor's illegally boosted CB would play thru my speakers. You could hear every word from 2 rooms away. I cannot recall if that happened with my amp powered up.
There are a couple variables, sometimes better to be safe and use something heavier than you might think you need. In non-snake oil cable the price difference between 12 & 16 is very minor.I never use 12 gauge wire because my runs are too short. Currently I am using KablelDirekt 16 gauge wire because it is very high quality OFC and it has a nice red stripe on one wire to make hookup a breeze.
KablelDirekt has some of the slimmest banana plugs I have come across. Interesting company and one that does not get mentioned in the audiophile cable wars.I never use 12 gauge wire because my runs are too short. Currently I am using KablelDirekt 16 gauge wire because it is very high quality OFC and it has a nice red stripe on one wire to make hookup a breeze. And it does not cost an arm an a leg...
I was gifted a whole handful of their RCA's a few years back with a used purchase.KablelDirekt has some of the slimmest banana plugs I have come across.
Yo no hablo métricas >> when it comes to equivalents of AWG... hope someone else can assist.Would I benefit anything from changing my wires to 2.5mm2 OFC?
