I hate raw, scraped fingers after wiring two surround-systems for family but this cable was a nice respite from brittle aluminum blends and I quickly got a feel for how to avoid breaks and pulling the wires out where I meant to strip the insulation.

I also suspect colored aluminum, although I am not sure about that

This is actual copper unlike the cheap aluminum copper stuff

Well this isn't the cheap copper clad aluminum stuff

Not a cheap copper coated aluminum but real nice thick copper cable.

Out of 63 total strands of each lead:10 were CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum)53 were pure copperFor a percentage of 15.87% CCA wire

Heavy gauge copper wire makes speakers sound so much better than skinny aluminum wires that are so often used

Looks like there was a seller selling this cheap and shipping out some cheap aluminum wire.

Worked as it should.
