what is with the tinning?

they can't spell.

It's not made of 39 AWG otherwise they would have advertised it as 11 AWG, and 588 x 40 AWG is not be 12 AWG.

Sound King is cheaper, go to parts express, buy what you need there, seperate the the two conductors and twist or braid them your self, use electrical tape to hold the twist.

Other smarter people may disagree, but I do not think the tinning will do anything for your sound. The company probably just bought several thousand feet of wire left over from someone else's run - that's why it's tinned.

Jenving (Swedish company selling cables under the 'Supra' brand) also uses tin-plate. Since there's no evidence in the first place for any of this strand jumping stuff any benefits are likely to be hand-waving hypothetical. Don't see why it should do any harm, either, so why worry?

I agree with what MudCat stated. I thinks he's smarter though!
I don't think that oxygen free copper adds much, if any to speaker wire.
I think, they www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm are approching Snake Oil.

thnks guys. I am planning on getting a pair of Von Schweikert VR4 jr's. I thought I might try biwiring them. It looked as if the KnuKoncept wire would make it a little neater.

Hmm. Biwiring, eh?

Just a thought.
