Does copper migrate through silver?


Today I removed my ACME silver plated cryo receptacle from more than 20 days' burn in through my refrigerator. I noticed the silver was more 'orange' in color, as if copper had mixed with it. Is this possible or just an optical illusion?

Well, Lak was here this afternoon and he told me the silver had indeed discolored. We got our outlets in the same Dutch auction last December.

He had a good time listening to my "DJ TT on steroids", too!
Sean-d, I noticed it first on the plate that holds the screws! I know it was silver when it was installed. Perhaps it is oxidation--I also noticed it on the insides.

As to wear, the plugs were just used once--about ten days each. They were left alone. It's a new receptacle.

I'll show you the ACME, Lak. You'll see...
Crump, I have two oil refinery less than two miles from me!

Should I do something about the air quality in my apt? I've been concerned about that.

So much for Audiogon's lawyer out of place comment...
The smell you refer to is not sulphur--it's hydrogen sulphide. It usually occurs during *anaerobic* decomposition conditions. Not in this case, though.

Lak, I'm glad you enjoyed my system. I've worked very hard at reaching my goal: "A near field system capable of successfully playing any recording of any musical genre regardless of its recording quality."

You added the *looks* aspect and yes, I want my system and surrounding space to look nice--it's a reflection of my personality.
Eggs have sulphur. The human body is mainly H2O. Sulphur(s)+ H2O(l) = H2S (gas). No wonder I can't eat eggs!!!
