Neotech solid vs Dueland tinned vintage - spades? bananas? nothing?

I am putting together some cables and want to know if I should:

1. Neotech ohno solid copper cable;
2. duelland 16 arg tinned copper
3. spades
4. bananas
5. naked

My lavardin amps don't like high capacitance cable - makes the output stage unstable. They like simple cables and as such I have used DNM's for awhile. 

I previously had Nordost Heimdall 2 and they had a muddled sound - the dnm's put me at ease.

Anyway guys - what are your thoughts?

@parrotbee Seems you are looking for a more advanced DIY cable.-

Take a look at this thread
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-conversion-to-diy-helix-geometry-cabling

I have tried several wires for my own DIY Helix cables and now prefer bare Neotech UP-OCC copper inside a Teflon tube. The results are stunning

And checkout the Helix Construction Here...

Give the Helix cables a try - I think you will like them a lot

Start with speaker cables and migrate to Interconnects and then power cables

The Helix are well suited to amps requiring lower capacitance cable, such as Naim. They are not the lowest capacitance cables out there, but they are far from a level of capacitance that can do damage to your amp.

Here are the finished cable measurements...
