Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper

"I recognize that it's very difficult to make comparisons where only one factor has been changed"...

Yet it is just that 1 thing that makes the audible difference and the diy thing worth trying in the first place.period.

Sounds to me that the comments are all over the map.  It's clear to me there are variables that the DIY's aren't considering and even some that cable companies aren't considering as well. When I was a consultant I evaluated some very expensive cables and inexpensive ones from various manufacturers.  I came to the conclusion that cables make a difference, the differences have nothing to do with price, and some high end manufacturers either ignore EMI or they don't know how to shield their cable from it.  You guys have the right idea here: buy it, listen to it, and take it back if you don't feel the improvement is worth the $ or if it's worse than what you had originally.

Which cable (you own) of the ones you mentioned is the best performer sound wise?

Thanks 

The Kimber is my current fave, likely due to the "less loss for longer runs" thing which is why I bought it. Heavier gauge. It's amazing cable for the money.

I'll vote for solid core speaker cables and interconnect cables. I vote for stranded cord power cords. Also solid core digital cable. On my tube gear feeding a pair of Nola ko speakers the solid core cables perform much nicer than stranded core cables. I'm using the Audioquest pure silver cables.
