what do you recommend - join 8 x 20 AWG solid core strands to get 11 AWG, or join 5 x 18 AWG to get 11 AWG
@sasho - if you are using Neotech teflon coated, I would recommend 20 awg. The 18 awg can start to lose high frequency response/resolution.
However, the VH Audio UniCrystal™ OCC Copper Hookup Wire
with AirLok™ Insulation at 18 awg is superior to any of the Neotech stuff (due to the type of foamed Fluoropolymer insulation he uses. The VH Audio 18awg wire is more expensive at $6 / foot, but it’s better overall.
