tubing for the insulator. Because the wire is flat and much smaller than the tubing there is very little contact. I would guess that there is more than 90% air dialetric. I have not found that the thicker pure silver wire is bright. What I find is that the higher frequencies may be a little rolled off. I think that 28 to 32 guage is a good way to go for the signals and 22 down to 18 for the speakers. I also use the 28 by 18 guage flat for my speakers but in a 4 braid and for the woofer there is an additional 4 by 24 guage flat pure silver wire. I biwire.ja in still hot, still humid, Tucson, AZ
