Once you get past 99.99% purity funny things begin to happen... I have some 100% pure Cu oxygen free cable (says so right on the jacket) made in China that is magnetic! You can't do that with the cheap stuff, now can you? ;-) Oh, and it is so pure that it has three times the resistance of normal 99.99% pure American copper. The US is so far behind China in the art of bogo-physics, I fear we will never catch up. -------------- If you go for the oxygen-free variant you can get to 99.99% (don't ask me whether the audiophool grade is really that pure)

Sounds more like copper free copper than oxygen free copper. On Sun, 30 Oct 2016 01:06:12 +0000, you wrote: >Once you get past 99.99% purity funny things begin to happen...

And nobody specified to what the 100% is supposed to apply to. Being oxygen free does not necessarily imply that it can't be a highly resistive magnetic alloy that by sheer accident contains trace quantities of actual copper. Or does it possibly mean that the cable is 100% pure, Copper and oxygen free? 100% pure cable, nothing added to it... > > On Sun, 30 Oct 2016 01:06:12 +0000, you wrote: > > >Once you get past 99.99% purity funny things begin to happen...
