I would like to know what is the best wire to use to connect the outputs of an amplifier to its binding posts.
In particular id like to know what the recommendations are with regard to:
* Conductor material: copper, OCC copper, silver
* Conductor construction: solid core, stranded, Litz
* Conductor gauge
* Insulation material
Regards,
