Yes zip-cord (lamp wire) is all you need, the longer the run (50-100 foot) get the bigger gauge wire, 16 awg.


Another thing to look at pricing is outdoor low voltage landscape wire........hefty oversized insulation and bigger gauge.

Yes monster cables are overkill, audio market is full of hype and "golden ears" and I'm an electrical engineer.

Heck, I bought an optical audio cable the other day, I mean, it's a 6 foot length of fiber optic cable......and the box says "gold plated"........yup, the jack connector is, but come on, its FIBER OPTIC!

too funny.
