Cables pretty simple heavy amp sucking gear the heavier cable (10), lighter gear, like SACD or DAC or Preamps a 14 or 16. Personally I like weaves 16 to 24 conductor.. VERY quiet very dynamic cables.
Terminal ends.
Gold clad over copper, but never rhodium. Make sure they are not made of brass or just about anything under the sun, THEN electroplate it with very thin gold or rhodium (way to hard)
As for the best terminal material;
1. 5-7n .99+ pure(r) silver
2. red copper with silver clad
3. silver or copper with gold plate
4. red copper, or yellow copper
5. nickel over copper/red/yellow
6. anything
7. rhodium (WAY TO HARD) under water in Alaska. Good place for rhodium.
Regards
