The story I heard was that the presence of oxygen promotes oxidation/tarnish on the strands of wire. So, OFC is the way to go. The fact that the ends get cut, allowing oxygen to enter, was not addressed.
Canare 4S11"G" now available!
I’ve been a HUGE cheerleader of the Canare 4S11 speaker cable for years now.
I have wanted try the "G" version (Oxygen Free Copper) for quite awhile now, but the minimum order was 328 feet, so I never got to try it. It is now available by the foot.
The guys at Canare claim it’s 4S11 "kicked up a notch"! Man I love that cable.
I’m going to buy enough for my shotgun setup that I use and see how they compare.
Stay tuned...
