Elecan 14 AWG Speaker Cable Wire 10 Feet with Gold-Plated Banana Tip Plugs-CL2 Rated-in Wall-Heavy Duty Nylon Braided, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC)-White-with 5 Cable Ties

Apparently, people think they can hear the difference between expensive cables and lamp wire. Humorthem. They may be passionate about music. They may love listening to garbage produced in the last decade by auto-tune, and cynical producers who have always sought to hedge their own bottom line.I did a test once: listened to familiar music before and after installing a mid-priced fancy power cable to my power amplifier. There was a difference: the bass sounded a little tighter, more distinct. Was it worth it? Who knows, but after two tequilas who cares. These Elecan cables are reasonable, and I a reasonable man.

Great cords, do the job & are very stylish. My only detractor is that my stereo shows them as unplugged 1/100 times, but the product itself is fantastic!

I've bought 4 pairs of these Elecans over a couple of years and overall I like their build quality, look and braided nylon covering. The only reason I'd rate them 4 stars instead of 5 is because as others have said, the banana plug are a little large / flared out more than other banana plugs I've had. They fit tightly or sometimes not at all.. at first. On the last couple pairs I had to squeeze the flaring in a little with a pair of pliers to get them to go in to a pair of Totem Acoustics and amp I had. But over time plugged in and out they do loosen up and become easier fitting (but still always tight.) Sound quality sounds great to my ears (not that there's any huge difference in sound from most thick cables to be honest) so the fit issue is a fair trade at a good price.

These are excellent cables. Fantastic length, gauge and shielding/wrap. They feel very heavy duty and thick.My favorite part are the banana plugs. Great quality and holding/gripping power and the best part is the versatility. If the wire attached to the banana plug gets worn out and loose over time you can just take off the outer casing and fasten the attachment screw with a slotted screwdriver or even cut off the worn out wire end, strip more insulation and reattach the banana plugs.Not the cheapest option out there but it shows by being much higher quality. Well worth the price!

Product works, but the wires need to be positioned in a very specific way. Wire appears to drop the connection unless it is kept very taught. I bought two 8 ft wires and both wires have this problem. Currently, to fix this, I have a bunch of wall tape holding the wire as taught as possible to the wall. If I even touch the wire as it’s touched to the wall, the receiver will drop the connection.Compared these products to other speaker wire and found the wire itself (not my receiver or speakers) were at fault here. Also note that the banana plugs are non-standard- that you can fix on your own, but the weak connection is unfixable and extremely annoying.

This works very well even after a year now with no shorts or loose connections. The banana plugs are a tad wide and will fit snug on applying slight pressure the very first time fitting to an equipment

This is very heavy cable and works fine. I bought for ease of plugs and connecting outdoor speakers that will be taken down in winter. The plugs are not for normal speaker inputs (i.e., RCA inputs), with a little pressure they will connect, but about 3/8ths inch of the plug is sticks out from speaker connection.

Just as the headline states, great speaker wire with plenty sufficient gauge for up to 50', at a great price.The cable, and it runs more like a cable than a wire, is a bit stiff but not problematically so.Note that the banana plug *housings* can rotate and screw-off a bit easily. They're not structural to the cable however, so it's not a problem and doesn't effect strain relief integrity. And they look great.Also note that the banana plugs themselves are extremely stiff and required SUBSTANTIAL pressure to insert into the female banana plug posts on my amp and speakers. I almost didn't think they would insert or fit, but when they finally did I was left with a SOLID connection that won't incidentally pop out, and which leaves zero concern for a cold connection.Other than that, the manufacturer should consider selling a length between 25' and 50' feet (35' perhaps).
