I had this question posted in the DIY section and it went unanswered :
Is there any advantage to making a cable out of individually insulated strands of metal wire in, for say, cotton tubing ? What is the downside to twisting multiple strands of wire together in a cotton tube vs insulating each strands individually ?
I have some 28 AWG 5N silver wire in the mail and plenty of cotton tubing, but i'd rather pack multiple strands per tubing to reduce the size of the final cable, if that doesn't downgrade the audio quality. The purpose is to rebuild my headphone cable up to the bottom of the neck Y section.
