Even more important is the prevention of oxide and dirt between the contact surfaces. What you want is a sufficiently large contact area that prevents oxidation and dirt build-up. Another potential problem is oxidation of the stripped loudspeaker cable ends for that might also cause problems. Now let me first state that much of what I say here is based on what third parties have told me. I have no way of proving this in hard figures. But I did establish a causal relation between products that claim to have these properties and the sound quality that supposedly stems from i
