We recently tried out some Phoenix Gold Z8 (Zeropoint) “Silver” 8 gauge power cable, and like it a lot.  No, it’s not actually “silver” wire”:  It’s actually finely stranded rope lay copper wire in which each of the 735 copper strands has been tin plated to resist corrosion / oxidation, and promote easy soldering.  This, plus the clear insulative jacket, produces the “silver” color.  According to Phoenix Gold, this cable is ”ultra flexible (735 strands) and features a silver translucent jacket that is gas, oil, and high-temperature resistant.”  Well, ok, actually the insulation is clear and the wire is silver color, but that’s alright.  We did a little Internet research on “zeropoint” wire / cable, and our conclusion is that it’s a somewhat fancy manufacturing process that probably makes very little if any difference in power wire.  “ZEROpoint cables use the patented Ohno continuous casting method to draw pure copper into a single unidirectional… “  says one source.  (We hope this doesn’t mean that in manufacture, with wire zipping through the factory making it, the workers are not continuously saying “oh, no!” )

But, seriously, this is very nice, flexible cable that actually is the gauge it is rated to be, and we very much like the anti-corrosion characteristic:  It should be great for car audio and marine audio usage.
