Question for users of bare wire ends speaker cable


There have been discussions on the use of bare wire ends as being the best way to get a good quality speaker cable connection. The only downside is the need to re-do the connection often because of the corrosion of the copper. As a part way measure can the ends be soldered or something else, to cut down or stop the corrosion without adversely affecting the signal??

When using bare wire ends, I "tin" the ends using a lead-free, silver solder (this solder is available from Audio Advisor, as well as electronics supply outlets and Radio Shack).
Yes Sugar, indeed they can and that's what I'm using. I soldered them with RadioShack silver solder and threaded them through the binding posts. Still you will have to clean it often but with much better convenience.
