[QUOTE="Louisek, post: 923962, member: 15727"] I'm currently on "loan" to the ?cole Polytechnique in Paris and being keen on audio I have been experimenting with metal coatings and surface effects on copper and other materials. As long as the cross-section of the cable is adequate for the maximum expected current (plus 20%) then more effect on transmission speed is discernable by varying the dipped, plated or pressed surface treatment with an alternative metal (to the copper substrate). This does not have to be silver or aluminium, but can be zinc, tin and even gold Naturally, these transmission speeds are measurable using a non-contact laser displacement as the HLDC-CMOS range of devices, but each material has it own characteristics Knowing this, there can be a difference in the sound signature for frequencies above 1,9KHz which can materialise into audible effect [/QUOTE]
