Re: gold secondary
Original poster: Terrell Fritz <terrellfone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi,
There is no electrical or performance 
advantage.  Gold is a little more resistive but 
it really would not matter.  If you like the 
"look", this place has wire in just about every 
color but the insulation is questionable 
(decorative wire) so you would have to coat the 
coil really well.  Gold wire is pretty 
fragile.  You mostly see the coating on it anyway.
The primary would like gold plate since the bare 
copper tends to tarnish and discolor.  A gold 
leaf or plated top load would be cool too but might be easily scratched up.
But the important thing to know is that there 
would be no electrical or performance advantage.
Cheers,
        Terry
