Thankyou very much for all your responses. I was tempted to lay out $500 for a pair of 10' cables but my research is telling me not to do it. I have read I would be better off with 10 gauge copper wire.

As long as you're not using #30 wire-wrap wire, something like the lamp
cord (aka zip cord) you can get at the local hardware store, is just fine.

I used to write for Audio Scene Magazine, and worked with Floyd Toole at
the National Research Council on loudspeaker evaluation. The theory says
there shouldn't be any improvement with the very expensive Monster Cables
et al, and indeed, there was no observable difference in double blind
listening tests.

I know this is a stretch but I do listen to my stereo with my Manjaro
laptop
connected to a DAC connected to my amplifier. Could any electrical
engineers
offer advice about the difference stereo speaker cables make to sound?

Thanks!
