The Best DeKay - Copper or Silver Wire?


Sorry, I just wanted a thread started with my moniker used in the title (I was envious of Cornfedboy). Go for it though, Steve, if you have anything to add.

i don't know how many times it needs to be said, but the choice of wire is highly subjective. i've tried the silver dekay and copper dekay in a number of configurations. they're both painfully strident, tho either is clearly preferable to the tooth dekay. -kelly
Kelly, I finally got to disagree with you. Tooth dekay is not a problem compared to ear dekay. Tooth dekay may be avoided by laying off sweets, while sweet music, the cause of ear dekay is as certain as death, taxes and Audiogon!
Doesn't much matter. 18 gauge copper dekay sounds the same as 18 gauge silver dekay. Doug
Well why we are on the topic of disagreeing Albert I would like to clarify something, tooth dekay is not caused by sweets, contrary to popular belief. Tooth dekay is caused by starches which are partially digested by your saliva; saliva does not cause any chemical changes to any form of sucrose, glucose, etc. hence it does NO damage to your teeth. I am sure ear dekay may be accelerated with starchy music. But I will need scientific proof to believe that any thing being said is true(not just here) because I am not capable of thinking for myself.
