Thank you for the excellent article. I would like to add that conductors with a low oxygen content will oxidize at a much lower rate than "standard" conductors. 12 gauge, oxygen-free, polarity-marked, CSA-approved, heavily-stranded cable can be purchased at Rona for about $0.80/foot.

This was a fun read. I especially liked the illustation and pricing of the audioquest wire.

That's a good post!!!
I think that John posts it every once in a while. It sort of sets the stage for truth.

My wife said that our childbirth classes prepared her well for the real thing because they were long and painful. I swear, our instructor talked to us like we were 1st graders.

What is "Rona"?
I am looking at some Belden 5000 speaker cables, any opinions? If I buy it as bulk, is it difficult to get it into banana plugs DIY without any advanced tools?
