I have raw component wire that I acquired from Purist Audio so I could wire the interior of my Sound-Lab speakers (when I owned them) and my Aesthetix Io and Callisto.
The conductor used for the various Purist cables is all similar but different design. All is OFC copper (like most high end cables) and some is constructed with silver wrap and with gold. I don't have tons of this to give away but would be willing to send samples to anyone who wants to be the tie breaker in this otherwise unsubstantiated discussion.
(Hint) It is miles from zip cord as you guys already know. Besides, even if another company did use equal quality wire (which I have no doubt some do) it's WHAT is done with the wire and (most forgotten!) the insulation that matters a great deal.
Kind of like giving the same ingredients to a fine chief and a guy at McDonalds. Same raw product going in, very different product coming out.
