Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Neotech-NEP-3160 , looks like fine stranded wire to me.

Many aftermarket power cord manufactures use solid core wire in the construction of their power cords. Audioquest for one. Individually insulated solid core wires that are paralleled with one another to make a desired larger wire gauge conductor. Example, individually insulated conductors that may make up a 12 gauge power cord might be paralleled individually insulated 16awg solid core wires.

Here are a couple of examples:

No matter how perfect an AC power source, distortion is added within any AC cable, especially within a stranded cable. Even the most sophisticated filters and power supplies cannot eliminate this cable-induced distortion.


SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion.
