Summary: 


	A friend just handed me a flyer from a stereo store which contained
the following ad.  I'll submit the text without further comment.


	VECTEUR-> LINEAR CRYSTAL WIRE

Copper is a good conductor of electricity.  If we were able to look inside
a piece of copper wire, we would see that it is made up of thousands of
crystals.  Electrical signals travelling along the wire must pass from
crystal to crystal, during which process some energy is lost.

Researchers have discovered that if wire is made of oxygen free copper
(pure copper), which is heat-treated at high temperatures, the crystals will
grow 20-30 times larger and those crystals can be aligned along the wire.
Since the current flow now passes through fewer crystals, there will be far
less loss of energy than in conventional wire.

The product is called LINEAR CRYSTAL WIRE and it will deliver musical signals
almost intact.  We carry a product by VECTEUR ( imported from France ) at
prices of $3.00 per foot for speaker wire and $77.00 for a pair of 1 meter
interconnects with gold-plated RCA plugs.
