The cable works as expected. But I think there may be some confusion regarding CCA which I will attempt to clear up. I'm not an expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt. These cables are CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum / Aluminium), they are mostly aluminum with a very very thin coating of copper. This is important because Aluminum conducts electricity much less effectively than copper, almost 40% less efficient (higher resistance)! And painting wires with copper may slightly enhance an aluminum wire, but it is still not a pure copper wire thus cannot enjoy its same benefits. Before buying this cable you should understand the important differences between pure copper wiring and aluminum wiring (CCA): Assuming the cables are both structurally well built, there will likely be no Audible difference between the two. However, Aluminum wiring degrades much faster, is much more plyable and prone to snapping, and greater malleability meaning the wire will literally melt under pressure, oxidizes faster too further reducing conductivity. CCA cable will be good for short term (few years) indoor installations (because temperature frequent temperature fluctuations will wreck the aluminum, as in, the strands will just snap within the cable and cut conductivity). Its a good temporary and cheap solution for audio cables. If you are doing in wall installations you need CL2 / CL3 rated cables as those are made for that purpose. Lastly if you are doing a quality installation of audio equipment, I would personally go for pure copper, stranded cables with a low gauge. The oxygen free cables (OFC) thing is just a marketing term. All copper cables are already oxygen free up to like 99.0% because of cabling standards, the "oxygen free" term is only adding literally less than 1% more oxygen free and charging you a large premium for less than a % of purity.
