All RG-6 cables are made with copperweld, by definition. That is why they are RG-6, and not RG-59, or something else. Period.

How hard is that to figure out? Sean: We have found that cables with copperweld somehow don't sound as well as ones with pure copper. Even the ones with silver-plated copperweld. Yes, there are times when you need something like RG-179 or -187 for internal wiring. We cringe when we are forced into something like that. (And it does happen.........re: SB2/3 mods.) When you don't have a choice, well, sometimes you have to do what you don't want to. When you have a choice, there are literally 100s of choices when it comes to 75 ohm cables that perform better. BTW, do you ever check your PMs? -- ar-t http://www.analogresearch-technology.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ar-t's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30801 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
