@blue_collar_audio_guy - after many years of building my own cables, plus conferring with other audiophiles all over the globe that also tried many different configurations of wire types,
Generally,
- a solid wire provides exceptional clarity and details compared to a stranded wire made from similar grade of metal
- the impact can be observed in the more expansive image that solid wires achieve.
- WRT OFC vs. OCC
- OFC is far less dyamic than UP-OCC wire regardless of whether either is stranded or solid
