A good solid core cable can be competitive with a midrange stranded cable. But in the upper levels of performance, stranded cables rule. Some would say that the top level solid core Audioquest is competitive with the best Nordost, Cardas, MIT, Purist, but that's not my experience.
Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
At a recent hi-fi show an exhibitor auditioning $47K speakers repeatedly asserted the following: "Any solid core wire, even $0.03 a foot is better than any multi-strand available. Experiment for yourselves, you will be amazed."
My question before I ditch my multi-stranded Audioquest Indigo cables in favor of 4 individual single solid core 18 gauge cobber cables from Home Depot for my newly acquired SA Mantra 50s, has anyone tried using single solid core wires?
