In Reply to: 'Oxygen free' (sic) is merely one of many-different kinds of higher-quality copper... posted by jeffreybehr on December 27, 2006 at 17:20:29:
OFHC copper is actually "Oxygen-free High-conductivity" copper. The term is pretty old, and really only used in audio circles, as the metals industry has moved on to more specific designations.
As for copper purity, if anyone can supply any test data that proves commercially-available purity beyond 99.999 percent, I'd like to see it. As anyone in the metals industry can tell you, the testing process introduces it's own impurities which make claiming purity above 'five nines' dubious.
As for the 'long crystal' coppers, the jury's still out with me. I've listened to a bunch of cables made of this material over the years, and haven't heard anything that makes me think it's any better than cryo'd OFC copper.
