Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper

I prefer solid core OCC/OFC over stranded after testing a few brands and set ups.

For some reason it performed better in my small modest system.  I've tried Silver Sonic, higher end Audioquest, and lower end Kimber Cables.  The best was actually "Anti-Cables" done in true bi-wire. 

This will sound ridiculous, but I see one advantage to stiff solid core is that the cables suspend in free air on their own....no need for cable risers!!!

It might be worth simply testing really good solid core for a week or so and see how you like it.  It seems a lot of folks who use it, swear and stick with it. 

Well, if we're discussing sound qualities, a little this, a little that, I use combos of everything and various metals as well. I'd say vast majority of what I have in entire system is litz.

You should go all solid core, you would get better  improvement than optimizing your network.

What is the name of the cables you're using please?

I think the issue is a bit more complicated than just a generic difference between litz vs solid cables. I tried the Neotech OCC solid cables both copper and copper with silver and they sound terrible.

People praize the Audio Quest Thunderbird and William Tell. They also praize the Transparent Music Wave Ultra cables. But these are expensive.

I would like to find a speaker cable that sounds good and 3D without costing an arm and a leg. Whether it's solid or litz doesn't matter.
