This is getting pretty silly -

The person describing his super litiz (sp?) interconnect cables explained
that he fabricated them from wire-wrap wire.

The standard 'spec' for wire-wrap wire happens to be 'Kynar covered, silver
plated, oxygen free copper'.  I belive the the oxygen free property is needed
to insure suitable mechanical properties, and reliable wire-wrap connections.

Thus the oxygen free quality of the cables is just along free for the ride,
and was not a specific intention of the interconnect design.

Of course a TRUE AUDIOPHILE may be able to detect a sonic difference due
to those little oxygen atoms...
