In Reply to: the point in question posted by Duster on January 24, 2006 at 12:51:06:
Duster: have you ever have the chance to compare two connectors that are identical except for nickle plate? I ask as I really wonder about the horrors of nickle. Is the problem the nickle or is the problem oxide between the nickle and the metal substrate? I have used and still use the basic Neutrik rca connector (modified) which is a brass base metal with a thick nickle plate and they don't sound bad. What is it about nickle that is supposed to be so bad? Perhaps we can devise some easy to excicute test to make some comparrisons? I know that Oyaide for example do not like nickle and i respect thier work but I have heard other respectable manufacturers make such statements and upon investigating I have not been able to agree. I am not calling them for thier choice I just want to know if I would make the same choice. Your thoughts would be welcome. I look forward to a positive discussion. Best regards Moray James.
