I'm Thommy.
How about this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Valab-Pure...-/321884679696
Valab Pure Silver litz wire 25/0.12mm strands and only £5 a metre.
If you want to make a really good pair of cables, for a very small sum get the desired length of that stuff and run just one line in each direction.
An easy way to get some possible benefits from damping/insulation run each of these wires inside it's own 5mm silicon hose. Put both hoses into a section of 12mm braid and attach some fat RCA plugs on the end.
I have found these Cardas copies to be extremely good value for money:

They aren't actually pure copper, but brass (which is mostly copper) but for under £1.50 each offer outstanding valueand they fit the 12mm braid nicely.
4% silver solder makes a big difference. Here's 15 metres for under 8 quid:

Which one of these three versions is the best? I am about to order one for my klotz but confused on these optıons. What kind of sonic differences should i expect?
Thanks
I don't like plugs with small contact areas. You just know they'll chafe through the plating on the sockets eventually and the conductive cross section is limited.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
