In Reply to: Surround speaker wire posted by Helier on February 06, 2002 at 04:12:37:
The discoloration is due to exposure to air and oxidation taking place. Theorectically the sound is degraded by the oxidation, but if you do not detect it, don't worry. Also, considering that this is wiring for the surround speakers is another reason for you to not be too concerned.

I had some cheap copper wire that discolored very quickly (less than 2 years). Evidently the wire was cheap (not OFC) and the dielectric aided to the degeneration of the wire (clear jacket). I replaced the wire and noticed a significant difference.
