Here is a quote as to part of why the Bybees are supposed to work...
" The Bybee solution is based on principles derived from quantum mechanics, the study of how electrons behave at the subatomic level. Quantum physicists have learned that electrons have an intrinsic angular characteristic expressed in terms of spin (either up or down), which describes their orbital behavior around the nucleus of an atom. When subjected to Bybee’s high-temperature near-superconductive material, electrons tend to join in a beneficial manner, increasing the velocity of propagation (VP) by forming what are known as Cooper’s Pairs (one spin-up electron joined with a spin-down). Coopers’ Pairs have the unique ability to tunnel through the crystal lattice of the conductor (such as a copper wire) essentially unimpeded, therefore eliminating virtually all quantum noise phenomena. To understand this effect, imagine a football game in which the player receiving the kick off could run straight down field to the goal line without being touched by any defenders."
Now, assuming that one uses a wire that does not contain the crystalline barriers (or not nearly as many), one could extrapolate that the generation of the Coopers' Pairs would not be as necessary since there is no structure to fight through.
I may be way off base here but surely
it's worth a try. As I said, I've used the OCC wire before and the differences were not subtle - and IMO, similar to the kinds of differences I heard when we did a PC swap to one with Bybees in it ( tightening and extension of the bottom end, more apparent 'ease' of reproduction, etc. )
