Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects?

Vh audio v twist wire is for my ears and wallet great stuff...chris would help i would think as well...the v twist for me is as easy as it gets at diy.The guys here know there shtuff alright.His copper wire has alot clarity...was going to do something like steve’s cable minus mylar...take your time.A great sounding cable done right is an enjoyable achievement...it will surprise you im betting.

auxinput,

The price for silver wire from VH seems really high. I can buy .999 16ga. solid silver wire for about $10 a foot.

digsmithd,

It’s about what sounds the best. Even though I have tried several (many, many) interconnects through the years using all types of different wires/configurations, the Shunyata Sigma V2 has been the best (thus far). And I'm not really sure what size or type of wire that is used.

@ozzy - yup, but you're not getting OCC silver wire.  That's the biggest difference.

Buying your .999 16 gauge silver wire is almost like buying "OFC" or "less than OFC copper".

Plus, the VH Audio uses foamed fluoropolymer insulation, which has the least amount of dielectric absorption in an actual insulation.

Shunyata from what i have been reading 16 gauge wire through there lineup?
