Second, when I said "solid core" I had a very narrow definition in my mind. Max. 2 strands in a twisted pair (or star-quad) configuration or very similar minimalistic approaches. The mentioned Kimber 8PR definitely does not meet that standard (even though interesting concept).
Probably fine for Home Theater sound, not so much for audiophile 2 channel stereo, IMO.
This is a quote for Morrow Audio speaker cables. It pretty much mirrors other audiophile manufacturer’s speaker cable designs.
No doubt Morrow is well out of your price range though. But you’ll get the idea...
The Morrow Audio Design:
Morrow Audio signal cables use ONLY solid core OFC (oxygen free copper) wire, NEVER stranded. Morrow claims using this solid core wire eliminates all stranded wire distortion effects allowing you to hear much more information that was lost from the smearing effect that stranded wire produces.2. Many Other Cables Use Large Gauge Wire:
Different frequencies tend to ride at various depths in the wire structure; the highs, mids, and lows tend to separate which causes time and phase errors in the signal. This is commonly known as the “skin effect”. When large gauge wire is used, this problem is even greater, resulting in phase and timing errors. The soundstage is reduced and instrumental timbre is distorted.The Morrow Audio Design: Morrow Audio signal cables are made with only small gauge wire. The different frequencies ride at the same plane in the wire, resulting in less phase and timing errors. Morrow Audio claims this produces more accurate sound, a larger soundstage and accurate instrumental timber.
