I thought after the recent goings on I would post this link . It may have been posted here before. Take from it what you will.

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.

Great article. But I suppose he's just a cheap bastard.

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.

All you "scientists" who believe in "facts" make me sick.

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?
