I believe the continous casting process is quite common. It results in
rods which are then drawn and annealed to the correct diameter. But
it's claimed that this process still creates monocrystaline copper:

>From what it looks at the other link from Furutech it is the same
process. I.e "cast rod" doesn't sound like the final drawn thin wire.

Also note that the best conductivity is clamed with a certain amount of
oxygen (approx 200 ppm), and that too little oxygen should be avoided
for that and other reasons!

No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me. (Especially not if
you ask me.)
