I picked up a spool of 6 conductor 20 ga coper wire it was $4 for 250 feet or so, each strand is covered with jacket no bare wires no shield, reminds me of phone wire. We'll see if this type of design does anything to sound after I run it through 100 feet and compare it to 100 feet of pure copper multi-strand 14ga lamp cord. Maybe keeping each wire from interacting with other strands will keep the flow more even.
Since electricity follows the least resistance it's going to try to jump from point to point, there will be certain paths that will prove to be the more traveled paths and wires that aren't physically moved around will eventually find paths that may be causing more resistance under high current situations and on a microscopic level there could possibly be tiny connections that overload and tarnish or burn as paths become fewer and fewer . The result could create some paths to not be used again since some links that get used and possible arcing on a tiny level removed the oaths after a while. Then when you pick it up to test it, you'll never know that the wire was actually choking the signal since you've created all new paths.
Now im talking about high current and wires that haven't been moved around much, of course once it's moved those oaths can be restored or even broken further depending on how much arcing has happened.
With solid wire one would think that the flow would be far more consistent with not possible arcing or changes in path. The more changes the further it's going albeit nano scopic in length it could be altering the signal slightly as it changes paths. Especially if this is happening a billion times a second and is reversing as well.
I wouldn't expect the same current to flow through a arcing connection as one that is a continuous wire or even for that matter, any connection vs a continuous wire (high current applications have proven this as an example car batteries, alternator and starters} better jumper cables will start a car faster even though some have the same ga wires, better connection points allow more current. This is only a thought since I have no way to test this theory especially when it involves tiny frequency changes and distortion in analog audio signals while traveling through wires under loads for periods of time without moving them.
