In Reply to: Is Teflon is bad for silver? posted by Psychicanimal on May 13, 2003 at 07:32:44:
Silver plating is used to protect copper from the corrosive effects of the hot extrusion of PTFE teflon onto the wire.Silver is not adversely affected by any form of teflon that I a aware of.
If this new cable sounded better to you than your mil spec silver platedf teflon wire, it could be because sivler plated wire tends to sound forward, bright, or even harsh. If your system is a warm or soft balanced one, ten use of this kind of wire can make things sound "better" because the tonal balance is leveled out some.
It may be that this new cable is also on the bright side, buthas more detal and transparency. That is not necessarily an indictment of teflon insulation.
If this cable manufacturer is trashing teflon, it could be because he is too cheap to use it, and not that it is inferior to his "proprietary" insulator. It is very suspicious when they wil not tell you what they are using.
