Thanks.
I been wanting to put together some silver speaker cable. I'm completely happy with my unterminated 10 gauge copper but wonder about oxidation. Anyone have a good recipe?

Is this 'take a penny, give a penny'?

Ethereal Home Theater have $45 cables and a bunch of other stuff from under $200 power surge stuff to bulk wire and assembly supplies. I've never bought from them, and it might all be crap, but looked them up out of curiosity after seeing them advertise in TAS.
