Wire, like everything else, is use-specific as regards whether
it is best for a given situation, bandwidth requirement, pulsed
conditions and length.
I use combinations of all kinds of wires, some solid, some
multistrand, as required by the application.
I use bare wire whenever I can. Perhaps one of the best
tech improvements in wire for audio came about when Siltech
(others now do it also) began adding a tiny amount of gold
to their silver base metal. Silver is a better conductor, but
gold can fill-in tiny voids in silver's matrix, making the
composite a better conductor yet. With metals this good, one
can obsolete the "solid VS Multistrand" contest.
Either can do the same thing. How is that done? The silver
won't tarnish with the gold in it, so multistrand becomes
just like a solid conductor.
Advantage-- if any? Multistrand has less of a tendency to
"tune"-- according to length and diameter. Music is wideband
(relatively-- it's not R.F.!)-- so a wire that has a full
musical presentation is what people will pay for.
There is an argument that all this is silly-- any good wire
can easily pass music's total bandwidth, so why buy better wire?
It's because that bandwidth encompasses many different
bandwidths, all happening both at once, and in different
time references simultaneously. What is desired is a wire
that doesn't delay musical transient "A" while trying to
pass musical transient "B" at the same time, and at different
times. This is a dynamic energies in motion problem, not
one of fixed, calculable values.
It's just like everything else, use what works for your
application.
