I don't understand why these companies are obsessed with platinum coatings. It is not the most conductive metal. I guess it's a marketing gimick.

At college, one of the prof's did his cable theory lecture, and had some of the guys from monster cable in the crowd. he took an old lamp, chopped the cord off the plug and used it as speaker wire, he did some A/b test with some creamy kimber cable (silver, blah blah, 100 bucks a foot type stuff) no one could hear the difference. took the same chunk of "wire", made it in to an rca cable, same sort of tests, same results.

funny stuff

Any one know what the actual process for making oxygen free wire is?

Speaker wire is generally wire, RCA's aren't. There are some really crap RCA's out there.

The thing is, w/the automotive environment, there are noises that can appear outta your audio system if you use poor cables and get it installed incorrectly. That's why we try to use the best cables that we can reasonably afford.
Shielded RCAs are a good investment. You don't wanna have to figure out where the noise is coming from, and find out thats its from some cheap *** cables, and have to pretty much redo the install.

Oxygen Free??

Oxygen with copper is what? A semiconductor.
What is a semiconductor? A resistor
What is a resistor? Well it is pretty self explanatory.

DOnt sweat it, the human ear will never tell the difference. Now with my oscilliscope maybe. Just buy good shielded cable and youwill be ok.
