Anybody try doubling different cables?

It seemed logical to me,to try to get the most cable between the amp and speaker for best performance, so have double runs of Clear Day solid silver and Acoustic Zen Double barrel - an effective awg of about 5 or 6? - and they sound spectacular - better than each individually. Interested to hear the experts' opinions or anybody that has tried similar set-ups with copper plus silver of different manufacture and design and resultant increased gauge wire?
Not hard to connect with a combination of spades and bananas on both ends- double spades and one banana per amp side and 4 per side on the biwired speakers.
System: EAR 868 preamp, SOTA 4 turntable, Bel Canto mono 1000 ref amps, SP Tech rev III speakers, Mcintosh MR 67 tuner (better than my ss CDP!!) KCI silkworm +, GG reflection, Cardas GC, Mogami neglex gold ics, Pangea 9 AC SE pcs.
Thanks for your input.

I'm currently using both Mundorf's 1.5mm Silver/gold solid-core round wire(teflon insulated) + DIY Mundorf 2.1sqmm copper foils run parallel in single-wire configuration with my waveguide-based Auto-tech Mummy MkII speakers - and it works brilliantly, also better than each wire run individually. The sound with the parallel run of (different) wires, compared to the Silver/gold wires alone, is more focused and vital, sharper, and with a more natural tone and timbre.

A very cheap tweak, I might add, being that my existing wires were the Silver/gold's; a Mundorf CFC14 coil costs a mere $60, with plenty of copper foil for many many feet of speaker cable...
