About Linear Crystal - Oxygen Free Copper (LC-OFC)

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1985-08-23/entertainment/8502250061_1_ofc-copper-monster-cable

Copper ranks behind gold and silver as a conductor of electricity. Unfortunately, gold and silver, being precious metals, generally are far too expensive for electronic use. As electronic circuitry becomes increasingly sophisticated even the quality of wiring becomes important. Companies such as Monster Cable have made important strides in copper cable construction, elevating it to the cost of stereo component. Yet the copper remained the same.

Now comes LC-OFC from Hitachi. Frequently dubious innovations come from unknown companies in West Podunk, but the fact that one of the world`s largest corporations produces LC-OFC lends credibility. Hitachi occupies roughly the same niche in Japan as General Electric does in the U.S.

When viewed at a microscopic level, copper appears as a series of crystals. The boundaries between these crystals detour audio signals. A standard 1-meter length of copper wire contains 150,000 boundaries. Oxygen free copper, a refinement, reduces the number of boundaries by two thirds. Linear crystal--oxygen free copper contains only about 20 boundaries per meter! Almost a decade of research led to these revelations.

In ordinary copper, the space between the crystal boundaries creates a microscopic vacuum. This vacuum forms a series of tiny capacitors and rectifiers almost too small to measure with conventional equipment. This muddies audio signals and alters high frequency response. Oxygen free copper removes the rectifiers but leaves the capacitance. LC-OFC eliminates all interference, allowing the audio signal to meet only simple resistance has little effect on the sound quality.
