Hello all Audiogoners, I have some pure silver wire (solid core UP-OCC 99,99%) left that I bought 4 years ago from reliable German reseller. I have still a couple meters left. Now I need this wire for my XLR to RCA cables but I found that it`s now tarnished (yellow to black color on some cable areas). I have googeled to find the solution in any possible way, but the only answers I will get, will lead me to pages such as: "how to clean a jewelery or silver coins".
Please let me know if there is any possibility to clean it as ordinary silver or high-end signal cable needs different approach for cleaning? Is there some special procedure/chemicals to clean such (high-end audio) silver wire? At present I`m at the point to trash this silver wire and to buy a new (that probably acquire the same tarnish after couple years)? Maybe someone can offer a solution for this? I`m not asking only because of my lousy couple meters, but there seems no decent answer (on high-end cable point) anywhere over the internet. Therefore I`m sure that there is a vast amount of people who are searching answers for similar questions? Everyone is most welcome to share their experience.
