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
