Size?.......2007-10-18
The packaging doesn't say the gauge size. All it says is "heavy duty speaker wire" and it is made by GE. For all I know it it could be 16 gauge.
Very good sound quality.......2007-07-02
I was a bit reluctant to give this a 5 star rating since I did not have anything to compare its performance with, but...
I believe I received the speaker wire of the proper gauge. My conclusion is based upon using a wire stripper/insulation remover for the appropriate gauge.
I do not notice any distortion from my Onkyo receiver.
I chose this wire after doing a bit of research online. Using search engines I found results of extensive testing of speaker wire. Lower priced wires were compared with well established names such as Monster Cable and had the same performance. Strong arguments were made to purchase other cheaper priced wire, possibly such as this one. A conclusion from the testing I read was that consumers notice an improvement in their sound when wires like Monster Cable are purchased because those consumers were using a higher gauge (thinner wire) than what is recommended. So be wary when guys at the brick and mortar store try to convince you to unnecessarily drain your pocket. I chose this 14-gauge wire over the recommended 16-gauge just to make sure. Wire of supposedly better brands are usually made with comparable standards as this. The only difference is the price of course. If you are not convinced do the research yourself.
I used 75 feet for my 5.1 setup and bought an extra one just in case I may need to change the positioning later on.
Not even close to 14 AWG.......2007-06-27
The product they sent me was 18 gauge speaker wire. It was one number off in the product model #. I sent it back. I cannot give a good review for this.

Customer Reviews:
This is a very capable digital camera 3+ years after purchase.......2007-09-19
I do not agree with the negative comments regarding picture quality on the DSC-V1 as posted by other reviewers. I do agree, however, with the comments about the flash recharge time and how lousy that performance is. I got past that by purchasing an external flash and attaching it to the hot shoe on top of the camera (How many other digital cameras in the point and shoot class have a hot shoe????? Huge Plus for the DSC-V1 there).
Now, this camera was affected by the CCD issue that affected many camera families (not just Sony) over that last few years. Sony offered a free replacement of the CCD and I took advantage of it. I knew I was going to be without the camera for a few weeks, while the repair and shipping took place. But I had a vacation trip planned during that time, and I needed a camera.
So I went out and bought a Sony DSC-T30 7.2 megapixel camera to use for the trip. It seemed like a great camera, and it's actually pretty capable. But the DSC-V1 just crushes it in photo quality. The color shading on the V1, and the depth of field are so much better -- and that surprised me based on the 5 megapixel vs. 7.2 megapixel specs. My wife still likes the T30 for the size, as it's case fits in her pocketbook nicely. But I use the DSC-V1 almost exclusively. The external flash took care of the ONLY negative I could come up with. I feel I hit a home run with that purchase.
Hate this camera, buying a new one asap!.......2007-07-10
So many little annoying things about this camera! Everytime anyone else takes a picture, I have to tell them not to put their finger on the flash which is placed in the worst place possible. Takes really bad indoor pictures. If the object (say kids)is even slightly moving the picture is soooooo blury! The flash takes so much time to recharge the by the time you want to take another picture the moments has come and gone! Thank goodness for photoshop because I am constantly ajusting the color quality, and red eye. It is so bulky compared to most cameras! The battery doesnt last more than 30 minutes. I would give this camera no stars but it wasn't an option! Don't waste your money. Buy a cannon!
Except Flash everything is good about this camera !!!.......2007-06-03
I own this camera for 3 years now and I found that this camera has some real cool features. Photos are really good. The only problem with the camera is flash. If you ask somebody to take the photos, you have to particularly tell them not to put their fingure on the flash. Orelse, flash does not popup. Also, you cannot take pictures continously on flash because it takes some time for recharge. This is annoying me allot and I'm thinking of buying a Nikon camera because of this damn flash thing.
A capable camera.......2006-12-27
I have owned Sony DSC-V1 for 3 years, and have overall been quite satisfied. You just need to be aware of the limitations of this camera and try not to push it beyond of what it was designed to do. Hey, it is a point and shooter, not an SLR. Outside, in good lighting, DSC-V1 knows few rivals. The pictures uniformly come out sharp and clean, with realistic colors. F2.8 stop should theoretically blur some of the background, but I have never been able to achieve this effect. Inside photography with DSC-V1 is possible provided:
1) you do not come too close to the subject (the flash is somewhat overpowered) and
2) you know how to utilize manual controls to your advantage.
The quality of manufacturing is impeccable, as could be expected from Sony with a Zeiss lens.
In 2006, there are better options on the market, but this one remains a solid choice, if you get a bargain price.
Premium Carl Zeiss lenses .......2006-05-27
German optics has standard of quality and Sony (Carl Zeiss optics) & Panasonic (Leica optics) has brought in that as a niche that amplifies the quality. I am sure that in the 'point-N-shoot' cameras, it really matters very little; unless like me, I like that 'step above' and am willing to pay for it.
If you read the digital camera magazines or web sites, the test results will show you the quality difference.
