This color of the plastic/rubber insulation of the wire reminds me of the old: "cloth, push-back wiring" has superior tone to modern wiring.The only reasons I use it still, is to maintain the vintage LOOKS and that these wires hold their position a bit better, when bent or tweaked, than the thicker synthetic insulated wire.
TONE? Kinda placebo.
FWIW, I bypass any "ground polarity" switch on older amps. And put in three prong, grounded AC wiring. But, I leave the dead ground switch in the amp. To preserve the original looks.
There have been more tha a few ppl that have said, "this position or that position" of that switch = superior tone or quiter operation than the other. If it does it for them... fine. Absolutely no harm done.
