Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Some components have plated steel leads.

The lead wires are made of steel to allow magnetic handling in automated circuit board building machines. They are plated with something to allow them to be soldered.

Anything magnetic is bad for sound.

The JW Miller 5502 or 5522 RF chokes may give better sound than resistors if your problem is RF noise picked up by the speaker wiring acting as antennas. These chokes have very low DC resistance and do not compromise the dynamics.
