I would like to solicit your opinion regarding whether the thickness of copper headphone cables really matter to SQ. (I cannot afford a silver cable upgrade, nor can I afford the ultra-pure OCC types. I understand that for speakers wires, heavier wires matter up to a certain point.)
Here is a picture of a cross-section of the cable on the current flagship model of a popular brand. The SQ of the phones are very good. One thing that I noticed is that while the overall thickness of the cable is impressive (almost as thick as a 6.3mm plug), the copper wires themselves are not that thick (about 0.75mm in diameter each). Does it mean that the thickness doesn't matter? In your experience, is there a certain thickness that I should thrive for? (I was told that the Senn HD650s sport cables as thick as 1mm.)
