her's my theory about the sonic differences we hear, there are two fundamental factors, one is raw conductivity, anything made with thick silver buss bars will be a heck of a lot more conductive than things made with cheap, impure brass which is probably recycled from junk metals filled with unknown oxides, carbides, intermetallics, ferro metals, bits and chunks of carbon, wastes, slags, etc...

Ok. But so what?

In other words, how exactly will that manifest itself in a way which will have an impact on the signal being output from the component in question?

If you take the contact prongs out of your Oyaide and clink them together (assuming you have any high frequency hearing left after iPod) you will hear a very plangent, musical "plink"... I would be fairly sure that this is the fundamental of a series of ultrasonic harmonics that are exited by micro-vibrations, such as caused by the inductance of an amplifier drawing current...

Except that when you're actually using your Oyaide outlet, the prongs haven't been removed from it. They're still inside it with the blades of an AC plug shoved into them. So what's the point of how they sound in a situation which has nothing to do with the situation they're actually used in?

And as above, how would any of these microvibrations manifest themselves in such a way which would have an impact on the signal being output from the component in question?

You seem to be wanting to draw conclusions based on your "theory" but so far you haven't even advanced your theory to first base.
