I keep finding that straight, unbraided solid wire(s) do(es) better. The best Cat5 we made was also that way. Not as good as Magwire but clearly better than Monster XP-something.One of the Cat5 recipies we tried braided several (whole) Cat5 wires. It was the worst sounding cable ever. It ate up the top end to such an extent that it seemed as if an equalizer had notched off frequencies above 10khz.
The other repeatable thing here is that, IMAGING, is better sustained by thicker cabling. However, thicker cable is not easily made into great top-end producers. That seems to be the point at which bundling thin multi solid-cores (keeping their indivudual insulation) does much better. Again, with no braiding.
I suspect that the type of insulation on Magwire is somehow helping. This was surprising to me: I can't measure inductance but measured capacitance on MM842T is nil compared to other cables tried here (except the other MultiMags, the 26ga and the 12ga solid copper electric wire).
