As a comparison, it is interesting to look at the wires within speakers. The very high end speakers can have exotic types of wire, but others usually have pretty ordinary looking wire. Of course the runs are pretty short, but it is interesting that people spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on exotic speaker wire that then feeds into very ordinary wire within the speaker. That said, my speaker cables cost 25% of the cost of my speakers :)
Best wire to connect amplifier binding posts?
I would like to know what is the best wire to use to connect the outputs of an amplifier to its binding posts.
In particular I'd like to know what the recommendations are with regard to:
* Conductor material: copper, OCC copper, silver
* Conductor construction: solid core, stranded, Litz
* Conductor gauge
* Insulation material
