Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
Well - Ohno continuous cast copper was developed by Dr. Atsumi Ohno, a metallurgist working at the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan in 1986. It is almost a zone refining process, which produces long and pure crystals in the ingot. The audio industry latched onto that almost immediately, so it is an "old" technology now, Ohno's patents have expired, and it nowt special or esoteric.
PMZ apparently stands for Precision Matched Z (in other words 50 ohms). And exotic fluorocarbon means PTFE.
So the £2k is multiply bewildering. A sucker born etc.
