To be honest, my anti-tinning stand is not based on anything I've tested myself but on the comments of others here who argue against tinning bare wires used as speaker cables. Why use bare wires in the first place if you're going to coat them with solder? Frankly, I just think it unnecessary from an oxidation standpoint after removing bare-wire cables that have been been in place for years and were tightly screwed down in the first place and discovering noting but shine -- not a hint of oxidation.Your HD-14 experiments are intriguing. I've used only the 50-footers and noticed nothing different about their jackets. After first using only two of the three wires, I've started using all three -- think it sounds better. I've got the black one going to the speakers and the green and white ones in the return link. But one of these days I will try "nuding" them. Sounds easier than I figured it would be. :-)
