GearIT 10AWG Speaker Cable
https://amzn.to/4aTFjOo
https://amzn.to/3QIahAW

PRO:
goosebumps
Every song sounds new again & I hear instruments I didn’t notice before
female vocalists improved over the Micca 14 AWG; pleasant surprise besides bass
GearIT looks & feels premium compared to the Micca
Speaker damping factor (tight bass) increased from 61 (24’ cable 14awg) to 134 (25’ cable, 10awg), ideal is 150.

CON: GearIT is less flexible (still flexible) than Micca

CONCLUSION: GearIT stays in my primary sys (music 2.2/movies 7.4.4 setup), Micca to my 2ndary sys (Family room) for movies 5.1.4 setup (wow, Micca 14 AWG sounds better than DIY 16 AWG).

Micca review:    • Wow. $40 Micca speaker wires vs $160 ...
