I don't know if these topic has been well known here, but from my previous researches, you will hardly find anything related to it, on any audio forums.
I personally first time heard about it, during the random conversation with one experienced audiophile. He told me that the best interconnect cables he ever listen, were the cables, he made from the Mundorf silver foil. He told me that he have made a several test with top of the league cables, you may find on market, but his silver foil interconnects always took a win against them. This information was very interesting to me, because: the price of such a cables were very affordable + I never heard or seen anything like that before. So its immediately smells to me like the holly grail of audiophile stuff: "the thing no one really know about, which have a price of a pint in your local pub, but sounds better then anything you may find on market!". That was the spot, when I heard the call of the quest and start digging for more information about this topic.
However, as I've mentioned before, you will hardly find anything about these cables on audiophile forums. Luckily I was able to spot a few threads, where the fellow members of our community, were making a speaker cables from the copper foil, leaving the very positive feedbacks about the sound of such a products.
Later, I found that not only DIYers were interested in such a concept, but also a few companies, who's been selling their cables, made from copper foils, for big bucks and the people were buying it, despite the fact that the conductors are easily available on the market and costs WAY LESS that the final price of the cables, such as "Townshend Isolda" (for example).
Here are the source and the prices for Mundorf coper foil https://www.hificollective.co.uk/catalog/mundorf-copper-foil.html
To insulate the conductors - you may use the clear scotch tape + the outer teflon sleeve - to make the cables look more beautiful and add some extra lair of dielectric material.
And yes, I've made such a cables by myself and was able to listen the results of my work) Ironically, that was a time, when I moved from headphones - to speakers setup and that cables were the very first speaker cables I've even used, so have nothing to compare with it's performance - to understand how good or how bad they were)
Very soon after (about 3 weeks) I left all of my audio gears and moved out of the county. But that's a whole other story.
