Tinned Copper Cable vs. Bare Copper Cable for speaker wire?
Why would you tin it to begin with your just adding another dissimilar metals and another point of compromise of signal.  bare wire is always better for transmission of a signal  and you can always cut a inch off if the bare wire becomes corroded.  
Best used DAC for $250?

Sansui 9900z in my sights.......
