Ok - the wire Lee mentioned is used in many applications but was designed for use in harsh environments. One of my favorites and some of the stuff Lee is using falls under MIL-W-22759/11-Color.

This wire type is made with 19 strands of silver plated copper conductor with an insulation of TFE non-stick coating, a 0.010 inch nominal wall thickness with a voltage rating of 600 Volts and a temperature rating of 200 ºC. It's really good shit. You don't get meltback when soldering unless you dwell for a really long time and the solder flow really well with this wire type.

This must be a first and it will be great to see it complete. I think it is getting close to being a White Oak amplifier as fewer Phase Linear pieces are used.

Will you sub in a transformer to test it?
