Default HGA 4N Silver VS Germany Silver/Gold

The HGA 4N silver after burn was very neutral and transparent with a wide soundstage. Smooth highs, a little recessed mids [probably due to my Super.fi 5EBs] and very good lean bass.

The Germany silver/gold is similar to the HGA silver but it is coloured. Main differences were that the overall sound is richer. The highs were about the same, the mids were more forward then the HGA 4N and currently the bass extends a little deeper too. Whats most impressive is the AWESOME sound stage.

Its a good buy even though it was expensive.

What are the gauges of the two different wires? It looks like the HGA wire is thicker.
