Higher grade connectors such as Wattgate or Furutech make the most difference in the sound of a PC. Geometry is also a factor: I favor the Flavor configuration of an opposing twist, spaced ground. Shielding is usually superfluous, sometimes even harmful. I believe the wire itself is of least importance. Any stranded copper 14 gauge for sources or larger for amps will suffice. Anything larger than 10 gauge is ridiculous unless your amp is rated by horsepower instead of watts. Type of insulation doesn't seem terribly important.
