RE: Do you worry about wire oxidation for non-solder type RCA?

Thanks, Duster.

I never worried about this for power cables because the wires are thick and those set screws usually can take a lot of force, making the contact pretty robust, not to mention that the thick power cords usually fit pretty tightly where it exits the plug, making the whole set up nearly air-tight. However, for these RCAs, the screws are tiny and "seem" fragile, and the T-Kable is not nearly as big as the exit of the plug, therefore leaving a lot of space around the cable. I thought about putting some heat shrink where the cable joins the plug, but heat-shrink tubing that can take the plug probably won't shrink to the cable's thickness.

Oh well, maybe I would just double check for tightness again and just stop worrying about it.
