So you're saying that audioque doesn't use solder inside the amplifier? The very terminals the wires we're talking about go into the circuit board of their amplifiers and just twist copper together? WOW! That's amazing!
No... they don't. When soldering, first you twist the copper conductors together. Then you heat the wires and the solder flows into there. The wires are not separated by the solder even a millimeter. Solder creates more surface area and creates a great, solid connection. AQ can say whatever they want, but for the absolute best connections people always solder because it is simply the best. I'm glad you read what you read, but I don't think many people will agree with you because it's illogical. Maybe if you use the lead-free solder like the liberals want you to use it's not very conductive, but tin and lead solder is highly conductive.
