| What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes Trelja:I tried Cardas Silver SLVRs which sounded horrid. Most RCAs I believe are just Silver plated so you are not getting pure silver anyways. I am going to try Homegrowns. I am looking for cost effective RCAs to work with at first in order to se... | |
| What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes DEKAY:C37 was discussed a few threads back. The main reason for using lacquers is to bypass the use of Teflon which I think is a disadvantage as a Dielectric.

The cable I tried the other night I just used a run of TexFlex Teflon tubing material and l... | |
| What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes I do not think I want to use anything as abrasive as steel wool. I am just looking to take what ever tarnish and dirt accumulation away. Isopropyl Alcohol and maybe a special liquid cleaning solution for the particular type of metal should be appr... | |
| What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes I have not tried Laquer or any other substance as yet. I shall use a plastic tubing to protect and seal the ends.I have some Insulated Copper on the way and have been experimenting with SIlver which I am impreseed with thus far.I am also trying di... | |
| Silver interconnects & copper speaker cable O.K. ? In the Bi-Wiring scenerio using Silver on top and Copper for the bottom end seems to work fine in my system.I am finding that Connector matching is crucial also. I tried Cardas Silver which behaved really bad in IC's! Could be a Capcitance issue b... | |
