What is the purspose of pre-tinned wire?

** No.
Teflon coated wire intended is for high temp applications.
With the sole exclusion of anything related to a nuclear reactor.
** Wot utterly irrelevant drivel.
Silver has a much higher melting point than tin ( just a tad below copper)
and is more corrosion resistant too.
Also, purified Silver Oxide, made in the lab, conducts better than the
element itself does.
** Shame it does not even exist on silver objects or wires.
Silver oxide on wires, and other conductive
surfaces creates a protective 'patina' on the surfaces that are exposed
to the air.
** Absolute ******** !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dark tarnish seen on silver is silver sulphide ( Ag2S ) - which is an
insulator.
Hanley is just parroting one of the DUMBEST MYTHS floating around the
internet and swallowed whole by audiophools.
