Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper


Which would you chose and why? Benefits and drawbacks of each? 

Thanks!

Yeah, there is. I’ve compared many types over the years and solid core is cleaner, less confused when music is busy, and yields blacker internote spaces..

 

IMO there is NO sonic difference between stranded and solid core.

I bought some more Neotech UP-OCC PTFE 14g to make up some speaker cables for my Spendors. They’re currently running Clear Day Shotgun(?) solid core silver. Look to be 18gauge. Should be interesting.

@sasho  I don't know to be honest as I've not done that with this wire. I tried parallel wiring before and didn't like it.
