with teflon tubing. Both ends are open to the air and in 11 years, I have not had any problem what so ever. I buy a guaranteed purity of silver from jewelry supply houses, two of them, that I know and trust. I do not have a problem with oxidizing. I think that making up your own IC's and speaker cables can be fun and easy. Too often, it is made hard by using too many steps that are not necessary. I speak from experience and years of use that there is big money to be saved by dealing with reputable dealers and big money to be wasted by dealing with people who sell hyper inflated priced silver.

Just my opinion and 11 years of using silver. BTW, my original IC's are as shiny and as the first day and you need to use dead soft silver.
