What is “Vintage Tone” ? (part 2)

...continued from part 1 Now almost all major electric guitar manufacturers have recognized this trend and jumped on board to recapture their historic “vintage tone” with “vintage cables,” “vintage capacitors,” and “vintage woods.” This “vintage tone” trend went largely unnoticed in audiophile circles until recently, when in a parallel audio universe, the discerning Shirokazu Yazaki, engineer at SPEC Corporation, recognized the lost art of tone that tinned copper conductors provide so naturally when applied to HiFi audio use. Shirokazu Yazaki likes to refer to the tonal qualities characterized by these tinned copper conductors as “real sound,” and I agree that......

The same goes for vintage electric guitars and guitar amplifiers, which also use tinned copper wire in their construction. It is......

Why use tinned copper wires ?

You will surely have noticed that many of the cables we produce use tinned copper conductors, and I imagine that many of you are thinking: “Why use tinned copper wire as a conductor rather than the more commonly used conductors?” In the early 1950s, especially in the United States, tinned copper wire was considered the best solution and was commonly used in industrial applications because galvanizing copper wires with tin prevented corrosion and improved strippability, making the wire more durable and reliable for industrial use. In the 1950s, corrosion was a problem because the common insulators of the time released......
