In Reply to: Anyone familiar with FIM/ Neotech Solid Core Copper Hook up Wire at PartsConnexion posted by Paully on October 27, 2006 at 15:25:23:
Paully, hi. I would look at continuous cast copper wire. I believe Vampire vends it in the US. Very very long crystal structure. It was developed in Japan to use in mag lev trains. Also - take a look at the wire used by Cardas: annealed in nitrogen atmosphere and then coated. With copper this is the way to do it. M Percy carries it. Quite frankly I would encourage you to try some solid silver, say, about 22 AWG and sleeve it yourself with Teflon tube. It isn't that expensive per foot. HandMade has it - probably others. Am not familiar with the NeoTech/FIM product. Once you try silver you may not want to go back. I have seen big changes happen with just 4 or 5 inches of silver replacing copper.
