Who has tried Orbeck Stratti ?

I had noticed a company who imports speaker wire called the Orbeck Stratti, an 11 guage stranded wire with claims of amazing frequency response. I ordered a 12 ft pair which I have in my bedroom system and it appears to be much better than the 16 guage Monster Cable wire it replaced.I also examined it closely while I was putting the connectors on it and noticed a very unusual wrapping of the wires with cotton strands of insulation. I'm curious how these cotton strands improve the sound. Anyone else have some experience with this speaker wire ? I noticed that they also auction off a lot of their pure silver ic's both here on Audiogon and Ebay as well. Thanks for your feedback and/or testimonials.

I have 4 runs ... 2@30' and 2@35'.
I find them pretty good and price is very OK.

The cotton wrap seems to be a strength member / protector to limit the stress on / protect the copper.

Here is my conjecture ...

I suppose this would matter on very long runs where you have to suspend the cable ... making a loop out of the cords to suspend it.

The origin of the cable is the recording industry where there may have been a lot of cable movement and hanging of the wire.

Generall I am pleased with the cable.
