Believe it or not, this has been suggested before, and tried I believe, although the cable wasn't oxidized. Still, as long as there is a sufficient effective gauge remaining, there does not seem to be a clear physical mechanism explaining how oxidized conductors could affect the sound. I'm not an expert on the skin effect, so I'll let CardinalFang's statements stand. However it doesn't sound like a large-scale effect to me. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
