Does Norne cables have problems with their cables turning green?

Does Norne cables have problems with their silver turning green?

I thought copper turns green, silver would turn black, or am I mistaken there?

Regardless, Norne has no issues with either. At least not to my knowledge

Yes your right.

Somebody has long time experience with that Vykari cables?
Not sure if they fixed the problem of cables turning green completely.

My ZMF Verite silver hybrid cable turns green after 3 years of use. Very unfortunate.

It´s my first Norne cable and this is juat 2 month old......

I’m pretty sure Trevor uses OCC wiring that has a coating on it that keeps the oxidation from happening. My clear Drausk is 2+ years old and I see no signs of oxidation.

Original Vykari owner here - I have not had any problems at all

I have Draug V2 from 2016 that looks as pristine as the day I got it. Superb quality.

I've had my Norne cable for at least 2 years. No issue at all. Still looks brand new.

Other than the appearance, it's possible this may be a good thing? If the outer skin of a silver wire tarnishes (or oxidizes), that oxide layer is less conductive than the un-tarnished (inside core) of the wire. So you're essentially developing a litz construction of individually insulated strands over time. The older it gets, the more litz-ey it becomes.

OK, I should probably have not had that last beer....

If anyone has a 3.5mm (HifiMan/Susvara) to 4-pin XLR, or a Dan Clark Audio to 4-pin XLR Norne cable they'd be interested in selling, feel free to PM me

Also interested in a Meze Elite compatible Norne cable in 4-pin XLR.

Since it's hard to to get a hold of Trevor can anyone identify the exact model? It's Drausk said owner but as I'm looking to sell I'd like to know for sure v1 / v2 etc.

The new Vykari Classic just looks fantastic with that square braid. Much better in my opinion than the braid for the original Vykari (which is why I had mine sleeved). I like the the orange accents you picked.

I have an adapter cable coming in with the new braid look hopefully next week or the week after, so I'm looking forward to seeing that in person. Also, that adapter should arrive together with an all silver Vykari...

I think the new Drausk v2 is now an 8-wire design, at least judging from the images on the Norne website. So I guess this would have to be a v1. But as you know, only Trevor can be sure as he does do custom build requests.

I have my Vykari V1 sleeved as well, but the V1 sleeved is a 4 wire braid, while this new one should be an 8 wire braid.

Might take a while but I will get one of these as well, love the new Design
