I;ve seen tungston mentioned in a few high end acables and it puzzles me because
- copper is a better conductor - OCC copper even better
- using a metal that does not conduct as well as copper would
- degrade dymanic performance
- degrade clarity, which in turn impacts imaging
Is it used to "tame" overly bright systems?
Personally I use OCC copper or silver (for interconnects) and love the dynamics and details they bring to my sysem. I cannot see using a cable to downgrade the characteristics of a system
Any thoughts?
