I spent quite some time looking for magnet wire and did not find a source that met my criteria. Since this wire is not normally marketed to audiophiles, the sellers are often not aware of some of the basic design features.
I want an "annealed" wire [dead soft] -
and high purity copper - doesn't have to be six nines, but some of these websites don't even address the metal content/alloys of their wire.
So - I have to assume that not all magnet wire is created equal - and I don't have the patience to try out too many experiments. I did make magnetwire interconnects with the radio wire shack [3-spools for 5 bucks] and it seems to work pretty good. But I do not want to blow money on 100+ feet of speaker wire if I'm not even sure of the wire content.
