Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers?



For the last 3 years, I have been using bare wires on both the speakers and amp ends.

It was a ''temporary'' measure, but I ended up being satisfied with the sound since. What do you think of going ''bare'' ?

There are no connectors on my DIY silver ribbon speaker cables.

Two flat silver ribbons each wrapped in wide Teflon tape, then placed back to back and wrapped again. At the ends, I just folded the ribbon lengthwise and managed a bit of origami to get the right angle and separation of the ends. Then I cut a notch with small scissors and fitted the end to the binding post.

Every year or so I unplug and clean the tarnish off and polish the exposed silver, then clamp them again.

Copper oxide is an insulator; by contrast, Silver oxide is a very good conductor.

I thought I remember reading somewhere that although silver does oxidize it does not affect the sound in any way
Tin the ends and that will avoid most of the oxidation, otherwise it is the way to go.
