Silver Hookup Wire

Guys

I'm planning on putting a Charlize tripath amp together and am considering using the VH Audio 28ga silver / cotton wire found here:

http://www.vhaudio.com/wire.html

for all internal connections.

I haven't seen to much written about it, but it "sounds" good.

Also, one strand per connection should be ok, right?

Jim:
I've used the VH wire for inputs/outputs on pre-amps, Tripath amps, ICEpower amps, CD transports. In every case, it bettered whatever had been there. A single run is fine.

28ga for outputs? Signal level for sure, but I've always thought/used 18ga, never considered much less than that! Chris VH's silver plated 12ga makes a fine PS connection... TIA Larry!

Sorry if I wasn't clear: outputs on DACS, not amps.

I have used this wire in signal path applications and considering using it in a pair of Bella speakers for the tweeter hookup. Very fine wire (in both senses of the word).
