how did you fit 18 awg into that tiny neutrik mini?
I could barely fit 22 awg into that plug :P

Insane difficulty! Had to strip one of the wires and reinsulate it with something less thick.. Was thinking of enlarging the hole with a drill, but didn't want to drill into something so small without a decent suitable clamp (I only have G/C clamps lying around)

well, if you were that determined, you dont really need to use the hole, just lay the wire on the terminal and solder it directly on it.

There is no stain on the cables. It's just coloured techflex covered with clear techflex. I love the end presentation of this combination. It does strange and wonderful things when the light bounces off it just right.
The two different wire thicknesses 18awg and 22awg are an application of the Eichmann ratio which is used in Eichmann series 4 and 6 interconnects, and the series 2 speaker cables (which I use at home). The theory is by making the ground conducter larger the current flow is eased and sound is improved. In practice they simply sound good and I think a lot of the muddy bass that is normally associated with interconnects is eliminated.
The ratio is not mentioned on the site however one of the reviews on another site chopped it up and put up the cable specs. 22/18 awg for signal/ground
Follow the idea from Eichmann.
If I want make a pair RCA to RCA, which config will better?
1. 18/22 AWG wires and twist them for one cable.
2. 2X 18/22 AWG wires and Litz them for one pair.
