I guess in terms of the corrosive layer, I was thinking of this as a much higher resistance layer than the underlying copper. So much so that the current would preferentially flow in the low resistance copper, than in the higher resistance outer layer, even given the skin effect. Also, the gist of my response was more at the pure skin effect argument. It's amazing though, even if it were possible to end the skin effect debate once and for all, someone would always step up to the plate & say, "All very well my boy, but you were discussing pure copper cable, what about real life cable that has a variable thickness corrosive layer". Great stuff this audiophile business. The real question is, does the drinking and savouring of 18 year old double distilled malt whisky versus the common or garden 12 year old, make a subtle difference to my perception of the sound? It should make me more mellow I'd assume. Why else would I pay for expensive Scotch? I paid more, I think it's better, therefore it is better! I'll do some tests this weekend & let you know. Cheers & have a good weekend.
