Rich,

I used to think that was somewhat important.
But looking at the colors that are being offered, texture of the cloth, and the overall look, I could tell that wire from the original at half a glance.

I also have been trying to find a decent AWG24 wire, and all I find is guitar wire which, even if it could be used in some places, still lacks the voltage rating appropriate for usage in tube circuits.

So I am using up what I have and mostly use black and brown types.
