Question for users of bare wire ends speaker cable

There have been discussions on the use of bare wire ends as being the best way to get a good quality speaker cable connection. The only downside is the need to re-do the connection often because of the corrosion of the copper. As a part way measure can the ends be soldered or something else, to cut down or stop the corrosion without adversely affecting the signal??

I've read so many conflicting claims from manufacturers and dealers and afiles about the supposed merits of solid v stranded, round v oval, thin v fat, (you-fill-in) that I've become convinced--sorry, Sean, and others--that none of you really knows what they hell you are talking about.

Use the ears test. If it sounds good to your ears and you can afford it, buy it. If it sounds good and more expensive stuff sounds better, save up. If more expensive stuff doesn't sound better, spend the cash on more software. Or something.

And have fun.
