DIY solid gold interconnects?

Irishwolf,
"BTW Just bought the metal two days ago,,, strangely, at about 6.5 cents on the dollar, but enough metal to wire several systems."

I just caught this, am I reading this correctly in that you paid around $59.00 per ounce??? If so I'd like to buy 100 ozs please!! ;)

Mundorf silver/gold wire is also available for DIY. Very easy to work with as its already insulated.

Gents, I got Really lucky and was in a position to completely buy someone out from under everything they had. If I could do that every day I would be buying Silkworm instead of making my own! I made a stupid sick offer and they said "Duhhhh ok"Even after an appraisal.
SOOOO my Mac mx130 proc. has no volume control anymore and the vol. light has gone out. I was told to try unplugging it for a min. and plug it back up. Trying it again. If that doesn't work I'm certain it is due to bad gold buying karma.

Hey Steve, I will be first poring ingots about a foot long, annealing between every step of the way.
Then running through a large mill to the nearest of about 24-28g wire instead of my initial thought of 12g.
I will do that until I can come up with a meter in length per wire.
Then manually pulling the wire though a gage plate for uniformity. Then high polishing.
I had thought about Rhodium plating everything {rhodium being platinum in liquid plating solution] I thought it might help produce a faster low end.
I actually don't know weather my instincts are right about this at all. Never having tried it. So I don't know what results will come it all in sonic form.
What is the "Skin effect"?you spoke of? And Pardon my ignorance but what does dielectric mean? Is that the sheath that would hold the wire? Is it part of the connection socket? you went over my head there as most of this is but I'm having so much fun learning and experimenting with the sound.
