Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Oxygen Free and stranded audio cables.
Skip, when I lived in England 14 years ago, the audiophile discussions were centred around whether CDs sounded better when they had been stored overnight in the freezer. Now you wouldn't want to contradict that, would you? After all I heard it on the BBC! We banned audiophiles from our VE3RPT shack when we found that all the sudden QRM was caused because one of them had been in there to tidy up, and tie-wrapped all those untidy coax cables together with power and audio signal cables to make them look nice! I think they live in another world! 73 Nigel ve3id,g4ajq wb6ymh wrote: --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com, skipp025 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My circa early 80's audio friend Rick collected a series of audiophile articles about how braided strands of larger solid enamel coated wire is better for audio.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Oxygen Free and stranded audio cables.
Haha, nice. Another good one is the guys who have had entire boards changed to silver solder because it sounds better... and argue with you to the end of breath if you ever say it does nothing, and is a total waist of time. Even the car audio guys are foolish sometimes. Running double ott cable to their amps, or coaxial speaker cable. hahah.
