@Michelzay, I have the Neotech Nes-3004 copper speaker cables. And I'm using Neotech upocc copper solid core wires in my handbuilt interconnects. My experience with silver plated wires wasn't to my liking.I've used 24k gold plated copper occ solid core wires also. In each case I noticed the soundstage was somewhat muddled. The silver plated copper was worse than the gold plated copper. The same could be said of the Audio Metallurgy Ga-0 interconnect,which uses a alloy of copper,silver,and gold,single proprietary wire. There was a loss of detail and a less defined soundstage. And the silver plated copper could get harsh when I raised the volume for hard rock.
I've come to believe that a combination of solid core silver and upocc copper wires are the best to my ears. About 55% copper to 45% silver seems to be a good balance on my system.And the overall awg should be around 19. Silver tends to sound cold,and the bass can get thin sounding with little impact. So you need enough copper to keep the bass impact and also the lower midrange warmth.
The NEI-3001 mkiii might be easier to build than mine,but I doubt they will sound better. I've had many shielded interconnects and they all sounded restricted,boxed in,as opposed to open and airy. I'm a believer of the less insulation around the wire,the more open and flowing the sound principle.
