If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?

Thanks for the suggestions, the Nanotec Golden Strada looks interesting.  I did a quick search and yeah, they appear to be hard to get.

This store in Australia seems to carry a selection of Nanotec bulk cables. 

They sell the updated version of MKII.

terminate with some good quality ends as needed

spending any more on cables is a waste of money. The high end cable companies have duped most audiophiles into believing they need to spend big $$ to get good cables. One of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on the ignorant consumer. Use what you save to buy some records, you are welcome

likewise these are excellent line level cables, all you need. Or make your own. You can get the raw cable these are made of from the source above

@dekay, I've used the Neotech OCC, for my IC and speakers cables per the Helix DIY noted in a prior posting.  For all of them I used 3 solid strands. Effectively 18 awg for the OCs and 14 awg for my speakers (Wirebarn calculator).  I'm intrigued by your comment concerning gauge and the quality of sound you hear.  Have you made or compared awg gauges to make that determination?  Not questioning, seriously interested.  To be complete, I stripped the insulation and ran thru 3 Teflon tubes of wire+1 awg for approx "air" as dielectric.   Return or neg leads are twisted Neotech OCC in Teflon at +1 gauge to positive side.  Helix configuration.
