623 Strand Speaker Wire, Worth Much ??

Hi

My mate has around 200 metres of this stuff and it supposedly has 623 Strands my bell wire has about 7 strands lol. Is it worth much ? he's thinking of selling it on ebay and I might have a few metres off him too.

I tried it up against my bellwire and there was a noticeable improvement. Where as the bellwire sounded very flat the 623 strand stuff was a lot fuller sounding. Its pretty good stuff. I tested them on Canton CD10 satellite speakers.

Below is a pic of it compared with the bellwire

Nearly anything is a VAST improvement over bell wire, get rid of it ASAP. The trouble with trying to sell it on e-bay is. To buy from the likes of CPC it is cheap these days but the P&P for that cable would be a killer due to the weight.

No markings on the sheath but was told it was 623 maybe it isn't but looks alot more than 79 I've attached a few pics to look at. Its a shame the zoom isn't very good on my camera
