I have used some HGA wire before, I've got some spools of their copper, which is quite nice btw... but I've switched over to an even higher grade copper

still waiting for the day I'm 'big' enough to order silver in bulk to my specs and have it be inexpensive....

Which wire on that page would you recommend Soloz?

Would 22AWG OFHC Copper with the cotton insulation be good enough?

I'm thinking of attempting to make my own cable and if it doesn't work buying one of yours

for headphone cables stranded will be more durable, especially if you plan on rolling up the cord or moving around a lot.

Otherwise then yeah, the cotton clad copper would be good. I've got some better stuff I can probably hook you up with if you want.

I'll probably strip the cotton off and replace it with Teflon cable braid or something similar, its more colourful
