Default What is the purspose of pre-tinned wire?


"Mr. Haney"


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.
