OCC and Litz wires - Furutech Alfa series, Neotech, Cardas

I use Neotech UP-OCC PTFE and it is excellent. 14 gauge might be enough. 12 is stiff.

Alpha s-25 uses cotton for damping and paper for wrap while alpha-36 uses carbon for damping. You can check their site.

@noromance,

thank you for reply and  your excellent recommendation using single core Neotech Up-OCC PTFE

thank you @audioman58 for your support

thank you @petg60 - which one from cotton and carbon Is better sounding - cotton?

another question

 why solid core Is better compared to multistrands 

Neo tech solid core...ugh stiff.Great stuff though.Solid core is a quicker "prat" to my experience,but i found i liked strand for more "relaxed" tone/timber.System dependent imho.TRY is the only way to know.

Cotton inert?...

@sasho reach out to Chris (vh audio). He is a dealer for both furutech and neotech. His recommendations are always spot on. 

thank you @audiophile1

I visited VH audio

do you have experience with hook up wire stuff particularly Unicrystal OCC wires with AirLok or CHeLa speaker cables
