But which magnet wire and how is it used?

I have built the (DIY versions of) Chimera Labs Advantage II for IC and speaker cables, including internal jumpers. It starts with 25.5 gauge cryo'd mono-crystal copper wires that are coated with the toughest dielectric I have ever encountered. different numbers of wires are Litz braided into the different-gauge cables and connectors are Vampire gold-flashed copper. These beat the excellent (heavier) HT cables hands down IMS.
In my system (listed), these cables offer spectacular clarity and neutrality. They just get out of the way, and that works for me.
Best regards,
