...but 'nothing'. In other words, cables should not sound. But since ALL parts of a music-reproduction system subtract good stuff and add bad stuff, at least IMO, the difficult trick is finding cables that neither add nor subtract anything audible and are within one's budget.
Over the decades, I too have gravitated to solid-conductor cable AND to the most-transparent conductor material. Unfortunately for my bank balance, that conductor material is now, for me, UPOCC silver, insulated with Teflon. My current MR/treble cables are a weave of 6 conductors of 18-, 23-, and 28g. Neotec UPOCC silver, and my system has never sounded better.
And unless one starts that solid-conductor cable with large (12- or 14g.) wire, solid-conductor speakercable is still highly bendable and manageable.

- jsm, I agree heartily. I NEVER select cables because they sound warmer or cooler or anything... - jeffreybehr 13:00:51 12/08/11 (0)
