What an incredible disappointment this product is. The copper strands inside the jackets are so thin, it's almost impossible to strip the jackets off without cutting the copper strands inside. And even when you are lucky enough to finally strip the jacket off without cutting the copper strands, the strands are so thin that they do not stay together when you twist them tight so you can insert them into a speaker or A/V receiver... the wires stray out in all different directions no matter how hard you try to twist them tight. Stay away from Belkin PureAV speaker wire... it's useless!

What an incredible disappointment this product is. The copper strands inside the jackets are so thin, it's almost impossible to strip the jackets off without cutting the copper strands inside. And even when you are lucky enough to finally strip the jacket off without cutting the copper strands, the strands are so thin that they do not stay together when you twist them tight so you can insert them into a speaker or A/V receiver... the wires stray out in all different directions no matter how hard you try to twist them tight. Also, Belkin resorts to the deceptive practice of wrapping their middle strand with plastic sheathing to artifically increase the gauge rating without having to use more copper. The sound this wire produced was horrible. I ripped it all out of my walls right after installation and went with Monoprice cable and it was huge difference. Stay away from Belkin PureAV speaker wire... it's useless! Try Monoprice's speaker wire... it's half the price and three times the quality. I uploaded a photo comparison to the customer images area for this listing.
