Bill, good write up. Now if I just had my amp here with me in Tulsa, I could play with it and see if I notice the same difference. From past experiences w/Gary Pimm and listening to his work, the conclusion was that the insulation made as much difference as the conductor. He used cotton (clean, white, untreated, unwaxed) on interconnects and tried to use just enamled copper in the chassis with outstanding results. Just cheep Radio Shack stuff, IIRC. Now as I mentioned, I do have a limited supply of some old enamled copper wire circa 1930 that could be tried, but I may save that for my future boutique parts business. Let's see, $17.50/ft? hmm..
