I'm not a metallurgist but I've heard that oxidized silver actually conducts better than new copper.
Oxidation and bare silver or silver coated wire???
Anyone have any opinions or expereince with running unterminated silver or silver coated speaker wire, specifically the DH Labs Q-10? Seems they would not oxidize heavily nor quickly as copper does and should be just fine bare if the amp and speaker binding posts can get a good hold on them. Any suggestions? Thanks!
