Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects?

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?

Everything matters.  

Auxinput,

When I used the silver wire it was with oversized high quality teflon tubing. I believe that air is supposed to be the best dialectic. I'm really not sure what OCC silver is.
