I have always wanted to meet someone who would pay $695.ft for /cable.... That's nuts. Even if the wire was pure gold, an audio signal is electronic and uses skin effect. Gold plated would work just as well. Even if you use gold plated connectors, they only do you as well as your wire, so if you are not using gold plated wire, you're not doing yourself a lot of good paying the extra cash for the gold connectors, even tho they are nice...... and let's not even get into the audio myth of oxygen free copper... OFHC is very brittle and will corrupt easily, do not use this near salt water....
All you need is a high strand count of pure copper, a good insulation, preferrably Poly pro or foamed PE with the proper impedance ( judged by the amount of insulation material diameter) for digital you want 110 ohm. period preferably the foamed PE, good solder interconnects, high quality connectors and a nice strain relief so there is not too much of an angle at your connection point. The right angle connectors are a nice alternative, but I would still use a piece of shrink tube over your crimp/solder point. 24g is kind of skinny, but for 2' patch cords, what's the difference.....

TimmyBoston said:Not a fan, I really expected that I would be because I'm a bourbon nut, I honestly I like it least of all of the cope's. THe straight is my favorite, it's sweetened lightly with molasses, but otherwise it's the same as the long cut. I have a tin of the snuff and one of straight I always keep around, also mixing the two together is nice, because it lessens the sweetness of the straight, adds more flavor with the snuff and makes it easier to keep in one place with the long cut, it's a nice way to chew.
For the black, I've actually had better luck, adding a few drops of bourbon into a fairly dry tin, then going for the imitation bourbon flavor. Also a couple of drops of an Islay Scotch are very nice as well.
He means the Original Cope...it is referred to as snuff. Snuff in the USA is different than what you are referring to. The original is worth a try. I used to chew/dip cope all of the time. Now usually Levi Garrett or Cope only when Hunting or Fishing.TraderJoe said:Thank you, for the thorough response. I've also not tried the snuff. Isn't the snuff for snorting?
