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.

If you are looking for IEC connectors, you probably won't find them anywhere locally unless you get lucky. Pretty much a mail order item for decent quality plugs.

Solid copper is ALWAYS superior to stranded copper in every way other than in flexibility and sheer physical strength. Once the solid conductor becomes damaged due to stress or fatigue, the multi-conductor stranded design may have a few advantages. Sean
