No Rick, they have developed a new plating process [Cu on Cu] that makes
12 ga wire perform like 10 ga wire. Now, if you wanted to use it for
speaker wire, you would need yet another plating to prevent audio
distortion and achieve the highest fidelity. That makes it more expensive.
At least that's what I saw on the Internet and you're not allowed to put
anything on the Internet that isn't true ...

I just bought 20' of what was supposed to be 10GA zip wire from that
auction site. It is clearly marked as "Audiopipe 10 Gauge speaker
cable". The conductor is actually 12GA at best. Is this becoming
common practice or is wire going the way of 2X4 lumber?
