NO, Not at all. If I agree or NOT? If you are happy with your Furutech, who the heck am I to argue?
And I'm NOT aruguing. I'd never try to pry your good, working outlet from your hands! Why would I do that?
Where in heavens name did I say your view was 'invalid'??? I just want the facts of copper out there. It oxidizes like craxy and I don't know if you can stop it. MANY hate or won't use a plating like Rhodium for 'sound'' reasons.
Low maintainers like ME are well served staying away from Copper in certain applications.
Enjoy your system....you've worked hard, obviously, to get to a 'happy place'.....
I'm a photo bug. I go to what some would consider extremes for good photos. Location? Time? Post Processing? Printing? $$$ Gear? But most are happy taking their memory card to the local WalMart and 'print 'em up, please!' Care to join me sometime on top of Calavera for a sunrise shot? Hiking in the dark up a slippery slope is FUN....especially toting a bunch of camera stuff. And Breakfast!
But be aware that copper DOES aggressively oxidize and may eventually have a problem. Exercising such connections periodically goes a LONG way to keeping them 'fresh'..... I do a 'teardown' annually and go thru a bunch of dioxit.....And have a blackened cloth with 'residue' when I'm done.
Example, if I may? Silicon, the lifebblood of modern electronics will SELF OXIDIZE in a Very Short time. Like a half hour or so, in open air. That's why storage boxes are plumbed for Nitrogen or some other gas......Argon would work but is $$$ and perhaps an asphyxiant? But Silicon only oxidizes to a depth of 20 Angstroms or so. Steel will generally oxidze (Rust) ALL the way thru except for special Self-Passivating alloys like Core-10. I have a couple Core-10 wind chimes which look awful.....but are 20 years old and Coated with ruse.....
With Silicon? A quick dip in a Hydrofluoric solution strips the 'native oxide' back to bare silicon. The surface goes hydrophobic.
Too much is never enough
