Covering silver wire for use as a speaker cable

Ozzy, go to wirecare.com for shrink tubing in long lengths.I'd reccomend the 3:1 shrink ratio.They also have all kinds and colors of braiding,but no cloth type.Good luck and keep us informed on the project.

IIRC, silver is supposed to more conductive after it tarnishes. Is that urban legend or is the concern about the tarnishing just about appearance?

Dgarretson,Tpreaves Thanks ! Fantastic suggestions!

Oz -- ERS cloth can be a problem if you use too much of it. If you want to play around with some let me know. I have a small, but dwindling stash of ERS (and some 50%Stillpoints too ;-)

I've read somewhere that they've tried wrapping with plumber's teflon tape before a more solid outer layer, like shrink tape. The yellow gas tape is thicker and less prone to tear. I don't suggest separating +/- for any extended length, so we're talking about layers of insulation.
