Correct way to attach speaker wires... Wait, what!!!

vinegar works - but why not just protect the connection so you don't have to clean it??

this is really a very simple thing - not that the crazed anti-vaxers won't try to post lots of silly

Thank you for the kinds words again. You take care...

food vinegar won't work. cleaner vinegar from home depot or similar retailers will. 

unterminated wires work very well as one reason and another reason that i can shift manual tranny better than any today's automatic tranny and, finally, each and everyone prefers to mustarbate one's own way.

food vinegar or any vinegar WILL work - use a white vinegar to avoid getting thyme or tarragon your wires* - the lower acidity vinegars will simply take longer to alter Cu-oxide back to Cu

do they not teach chemistry in high school these days??

if you want find a photo lab with old chemicals and use the acetic acid they have - it can be diluted if need be

or...  simply abrade the wire ends

just BE SURE to observe the correct WIRE DIRECTIONALITY as you move the sand paper !!


* an exception would be if you play only the Provence Harmonic Orchestra
