I believe 1505F is stranded core and 1505A is solid core.

I tried 1505F when I made my own ICs and compared them: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64302&highlight=star+quad

The 1505F was fine, but not my first choice.

The 'A' has the 20 ga solid center conductor and a hair less capacitance. Both have a PVC outer jacket that can be stripped off.


1505A Belden specs (http://www.bluejeanscable.com/pages/technicaldocs/1505tech.htm)

1505F Belden specs (http://www.bluejeanscable.com/pages/technicaldocs/1505Ftech.htm)

89259 Belden specs (http://www.bluejeanscable.com/pages/technicaldocs/89259tech.htm)

I wish there was an 89259 with solid 24-28 gauge center. It has the teflon outer jacket.

With that little amount of wire, it wouldn't hurt to try it out and see if you hear a difference. The only real difference is the stranded core and braid-braid vs. braid-foil shielding.
