Excellent paper, chess, but some audiophiles might view it with dismay if it gives them one less thing to worry about.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

So this whole OFC thing is just more snake-oil? How long until a company spins it the other way and starts marketing "greened" speaker wire while touting the acoustic qualities of the copper-rosin salt?

Makes sense. Wires are pretty thick compared to any thin surface crud. Leaves plenty of uncorrupted inner wire to conduct signals.

Hi,
Catching up here on posts. Hmmm. So that's what "zip" is derived from? Years ago, "zip wire" meant the really cheap, thin generic 22-gauge stuff that retailers used to throw in with receivers and speakers. That was in Toronto.
