“Connectors have their own sonic blablabla” lol what a crock!So, you can't hear the differences? Must be nice to live in a mid-fi world. To see what effect connectors have: http://www.tempoelectric.com/Wire_and_Cable_Facts.pdf All the best, Nonoise |

Tinning is probably not the best idea: - Solder is soft and malleable, so connections tend to loosen over time and are thus not gas tight. - Tinning should be done in a solder pot - There are 2 dissimilar junction instead of one - Unless you are expert with proper tools and the correct solder, you run the risk of a 'dry' or incompletely wetted flow which are sonically awful. |
Bare OFC cable is the simplest and easily the most convenient. Issues with oxidation, if they exist at all, can be dealt with a periodic clean once or twice a year. Besides, concerns with any oxidation of speaker cable pale into insignificance compared to oxidation of cable used inside amps, speakers, the mains, the power station etc etc. Paranoia City Arizona. |
