I was using AudioQuest F-14 in 16 ft runs. They were a relatively small guage. I switched to Zu Julian(11 guage-eventual review in the indefinite future) in a 20 ft run. Both are copper cable, nothing exotic.
I prefer the Zu.
Judging a cable's effectiveness on guage alone doesn't necessarily work. The rather exotic and high buckaroo Crystal Cable has been praised in print and online. It's a rather skinny looking piece of work.
Your best bet is to do some research and consider if a manufacturer that offers a 30- or 60-day home trial period has a product that appeals to your wallet. Then listen to that cable and see if it appeals to your ears. Better to pay for shipping than to buy something and move to another product in a short period of time. Cable depreciates faster than a new car that leaves the lot.
