Re: For signal path, use Kynar not magnet wire please.

Audio Consulting uses what is essentially magnet wire.


Chimera Labs also uses what is essentially magnet wire:


"Insulation Material – To reduce energy storage and capacitance, a very thin coating of polyethylene insulation is sprayed on the conductor. Two coats are applied to eliminate any porosity in the coating. The total thickness of the insulation coating is 0.001” thick. The material has a low dielectric constant and polyethylene has proven to have better distortion “ratios” then Teflon or Polypropylene. The superior adhesion of the double spray process keeps contaminates from oxidizing the conductor’s outer surface. Copper oxide is not a conductor, if the surface of a copper conductor becomes oxidized, it will “smear” the audio signal."

What about the popularity of Cardas magnet wire?

And what about the magnet wire in all our transformers? Doesn't the signal pass through them?
