Does the diameter of bulk wire affect the sound quality of cable?

Thread Starter 
Recently I am planning to do a diy rca cable as the DIY Silver IC recipe by Chris VenHaus in here:DIY Silver Interconnects

It can be seen that the vh audio now offers two kinds of bulk sliver wire that everything is the same except the degree of the bulk wire:

28 AWG UniCrystal OCC SILVER/COTTON and
24 AWG UniCrystal OCC SILVER/COTTON

Does anybody can tell the difference on sound between the final rca cable made by this two cable?

BTW, do you have any ideas about the shield of the cables? I am planning to cover copper foils between the bulk wires and Techflex Sleeving. Is there better ideas?
And anybody have done the sliver cable as the recipe? Please tell me how does it sounds

I've built a couple of VenHaus silver cables, and used cotton rope instead of teflon tubing, I prefer that. I like the cables, but they're not easy to build.

My SQ preference is the thinner silver - 28 AWG.

My build preference is that used by Moon Audio for their Silver Dragon and Home Grown Audio for their Silver Lace.

Also not averse to the Guerrilla Audio pure silver interconnects.
