solid core,tinier, the better
twisted nicely
I like that and I believe it's better than chunkier options
How would you solder this connection?

get more of the same solid wire, strip it, then coil a bit around the end of the wire you want soldered to the PCB
On the flip side, if ever the wires to big for the PCB hole, strip the wire then cut a few stands from it before tinning in prep to solder to PCB. If its solid core wire, file some off until it fits the hole
There's always a way to make something fit a hole

plenty of pics on my Blog
I have 2 options:
24 awg stranded silver plated copper with Teflon insulation. Picture #1
26 awg solid core pure silver that's wrapped in cotton. Picture #2
The photos show a spiral wrap of wire (thanks Allan) for each.
What do you think?

The wire choice will pretty much depend on the rest of your system and your taste. Silver-plated copper, teflon insulated could be bright... solid core silver may sound better - but the silver has to be annealed to sound really nice. Properly annealed, it will sound beautiful - fast & pleasing at the same time, with great space/extension bottom to top, with no hints of roughness/edginess; annealed silver will also preserve the natural harmonics (where an un-annealed silver will produce unnatural harmonics that will start bothering you on a long run...)
Insert the pins into the PCB and then try different types and configurations until you find one that suits you best; then solder it permanently - straight to the PCB. This will ensure that you do not damage the PCB eyelets
If you do not have any hum/buzz, you could try a very slight twist - no need to twist them tightly. This will preserve the space/extension and highs. Again, experiment and find what suits you best.
Do not discard the copper wire... try solid core pure copper.
Then, once done playing... let us know what you chose.

With regard to soldering a pin onto the board:
Something like this:
Security Check
They exist in 1 mm and 1.3 mm diameter, and I have some that are either silvered or even solid silver (don't remember where I got those, they were leftovers from my first period of electronics diy decades ago ... )

Not sure what you mean by a pin into the board. I'm guessing an adapter of some kind?
Where can I see something like that?
Something like this: https://www.distrelec.ch/en/wire-wrap-pins-pu-pack-of-100-pieces-vogt-1365b-68/p/30073086
these may also work - I use them in places where I may need to evaluate resistors

Something more like this, sized for the hole.
