interconnect lengths
Generally speaking, coiling is more of a concern for loudspeaker cables than interconnects, but it is POSSIBLE to be a problem for either. In practice, the answer lies in the properties of the cables. If you coil up a single piece of wire, you wil... 
Long IC Cable Run
IC's of that length are fine, but please do pay attention to the post by Al regarding cable shielding and capacitance. You need a cable that is designed to handle that length of run. Please note that if you have an sources of nearby electromagneti... 
Unbiased information on contact metals
Sulfur is present in the air in quantities high enough to cause corrosion on its own (no egg yolk required unless you want to run a time accelerated experiment). It is worse on the East of the US from the increase in sulfur emitting coal power pla... 
Unbiased information on contact metals
Just to supplement the information you have listed and address your comments regarding silver corrosion:The corrosion of silver continues to be a poorly informed topic of discussion in audio circles. Silver does not corrode as easily in air as cop... 
ICs with great natural sounding highs?
Most interconnects cannot do what you are looking to achieve. They either accentuate high frequency information (like your current cables) and sound overly bright, or they absorb too much information to eliminate the brightness, but sacrifice real...
