Blue jean cables 12 AWG or 14 AWG for 12 feet run.

I have bought NAD 320bee and nad 521bee combination. I have decided to go for following interconnects from bluejeanscable :Belden 1505F with Canare RCA Plugs., but not decided on the speaker cables, the speaker cable will be run for 12 feet , should I go for Blue jean cable 5000UE(12 AWG) or 5T00UP(10AWG). Will it really makes any difference for a short run of 12 feet?

Thanks in advance,

Hemanth.

While there is a measurable difference (mostly in resistance) between 10 and 12 AWG, it likely wont be audible, especially for the lengths you are dealing with. However, there shouldn't be too much of a difference in price between the two so I would always pic the 10AWG of similar cable geometry over the 12AWG. Than you can gloat when you go to your friends house who uses higher resistance cables in their system ;)
