I'm not really going to get into this discussion. Just a suggestion, however.!!
Try contacting Greg Straley at "REALITY CABLES". He has a website where you can get his contact information. Tell him Lance Lawson suggested you give him a call, and ask him to spend a few moments with you as a learning tool, pertaining to "stranded cable technology" vs. "solid core cable technology" Greg is a small manufacturer of custom "solid core" OCC copper cables, terminated with various brand high quality connectors. Most people have never heard of him. I ran into him at AXPONA a few years ago and ended up purchasing several sets of cables, which I have used consistently throughout several equipment changes. I probably own more than 50 pair of various well known brand cables at all different price ranges., All " STRANDED TECHNOLOGY". They are all in boxes in my closet. Recently, I purchased some OCC high purity copper wire from Germany and built my own solid core cables. I still use those as well in all 4 of my systems. That's it !! "DID I SAY I WASN'T GOING TO GET INTO THIS DISCUSSION???" Shame on me !
By the way, GREG has been a respected officer of the CHICAGO AUDIO ENGINEERING SOCIETY for many years.
