The standard 'spec' for wire-wrap wire happens to be 'Kynar covered, silver plated, oxygen free copper'. I belive the the oxygen free property is needed to insure suitable mechanical properties, and reliable wire-wrap connections. Thus the oxygen free quality of the cables is just along free for the ride, and was not a specific intention of the interconnect design. Of course a TRUE AUDIOPHILE may be able to detect a sonic difference due to those little oxygen atoms... -- George Robbins - now working with, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
