I've made differing speaker wires over time.I've made the cat 5 braideds (huge at 24 or 27 pairs) out of non ofc copper using stranded silver plated copper with teflon, 24g magnet wire, and even 24g silver (99.99% pure). Between all those the silver and magnet wire are better, in some instances silver wins, some the magnet wire wins. I also perfered silver/magnet cat-5 over goertz ribbon stuff.
I've ran diy nordost (24g stranded teflon insulated ribbon cable, 50-60 wires) for a long time beating out the cat5 to me. To me that wire seemed a bit less hazy, like the cat5 was addind a bit of fuz or echo.
Then I read up on the anti-cables and the dnm reson. So I got some 14g magnet wire, ran 1 strand positive and 1 strand negative. So far it is the best in my system (sounds best wires seperated a few inches). It sounded better in the midbass even. To me the 1 solid strand seems less etchy, hard to describe, smoother, and not just a 3db less highs, i bit less confused.
I tried 24g and even smaller but on my large 3 ways they acted like a loudness button causing the bass to be a bit louder and a bit more sluggish.
Remember your ears, your system, in your room.
Buy some 14g magnet wire and try it, keep them spaced apart.
I perfer 30g spaced apart (think soundstage sst patch cord) for interconnect.
I can't wait to order 14g fro michael percy ($6/foot) then some 10g teflon tubing so as less surface contact for dielectric.
