What type of copper is best for power cable?

I am planning to make a few power cord for myself to see if it will make any difference to the sound. Connectors will come from Marinco, but as for wire, I am not sure I should be using solid copper or stranded copper.
It seems like all my apartment internal wiring is using solid copper.
Any suggestion will be helpful.

You will have a very difficult time finding female re-wireable IEC connectors. Most of the mainstream manufacturers such as HUBBELL, Pass & Seymore etc, do not manufacture them. Several are available though. They are manufactured by Schurter, Marinco/Wattgate, Furotech and also NEOTECH. The least expensive of these is the Schurter, however it does not lend itselt to large gauge cables, so most manufacturers use the much more pricy
Marinco/Wattgate. in order to simplify assembly.I supply some of these connectors to a number of manufacturers
in the industry. If any audiogon members have questions about IEC or need a source for these and other connectors thay can contact me directly via e-mail at audioparts@bellsouth.net. Hope the information helps.
