What I'm talking about is the big spools of electrical wire that you get at Home Depot, not whatever they have on their website (which is horrid, as an aside). I've never used the term lamp cord, and I probably won't, due to that very issue. But you don't have to buy AR or Monster to get 14 gauge stranded copper wire. Go to a store, use the old mark 1s, and buy the 14 gauge stranded copper wire.

"Calvin" if that is not your real name! - I think that is where I may have missed the boat on this long conversation. I (and others in the unwashed masses, I bet) thought you were talking about the spools of wire in the "Audio/Video" section at Home D, et al. But you are talking about the real copper wire sold in the electrical section, with Romex and the like. I got it. I hope this helps other newbies like me save a few coins by avoiding the it-aint-tin wire I picked up.
Thanks for the clarification.
