scratch music is correct

much in the same way as we use braided or better still braided strap and not solid for RF grounds as it travels the surface and Braided wire has more surface area than solid

It’s not the same as RF is at much higher frequencies than audible frequencies so the skin depth is far less and braided cables become necessary, for audible frequencies the effect is negligible
 
that would depend on the power specs of your amps and speakers.
generally you want to go with heavier cabling to prevent voltage drop,
preferably with a higher strand count and tinned or gold clad contacts to minimize oxidation
You can also tin your conductors using a good quality silver bearing solder.

Yeah, all this tinning and gold connection stuff made a huge difference to my 30 year old two channel stereo system...

In a domestic set up there's no requirement for expensive wiring systems unless the audio equipment runs into the £1000's...
 
Amps have changed since my Mosfet days ,have digital amps made it yet ? ( or are they just a way of upsetting your local HAM) ... any differences in speaker cabling ...
 
I know the digital gear messes with my pager (fire department) so it sits in the charger base while at home.
I use regular scanner in those areas.( or rather centralized scanner and remote speakers)
