It's just copper wire, I personally get all my cables and supplies from MONO PRICE, but copper, doesn't have a shelf life relative to the human life span, check the connections from time to time and if any of the copper is exposed, trim off any oxidised areas and reconnect. Don't get caught up in snake oil BS when it comes to wires, it's a load of garbage and you could be spending your money on more equipment and Klipsch speakers. 😅 IMHO Silver Wire would be best, I think. And of course Gold would not Corrode! Pay more attention to the CONNECTIONS! In my experience, the connections are the most likely to be higher resistance/noise points. And what Pete H. said: Beware SNAKE OIL sellers! And remember, the actual power speaker outputs are much less noise receptive than lower power cables like RCA and Phono level signals, etc. John Kuthe...
