In Reply to: Is brass better than bronze? posted by Christopher Witmer on June 11, 2007 at 13:53:55:
Hi.
Layman term for brass is yellow copper, & bronze is green copper.
Both are copper alloys. Brass, also called 'commercial bronze', is commonly made up of 90% copper & 10% zinc. Bronze is typically made up of 88% copper & 12% tin.
My audiophile friends use power strips or power conditioners built with thick brass plates only, not bronze.
It is not a matter of cost more or less, they find brass plated power strips or powerline conditioners sound better.
