Let's pretend for a second that this is drinking water. Percentage wise how much lead and arsenic will you tolerate out of the two percentages? Huge difference between 99.99 and 99.99999.
I don't know of any sonic difference between. 90%, 99%, 99.99, and 100%.
Shunyata advertises 99.99, yet belden has a cable that's 99.995 but it's hard to find.
In an air filter that tries to capture 100,000 dust particles: 99.99999 will release one dust particle whereas the 99.99 will release about a 1,000.
Care to contribute or shall we argue semantics instead?
Here is Shunyata's claim.
Quote:
Shunyata Research uses only the highest purity of copper available for the production of its wire products. **OFE Alloy 101 or **C10100 is the highest grade of copper with a minimum 99.99% purity and a conductivity rating of 101% IACS. OFE stands for oxygen-free electrolytic and supersedes the term OFHC (oxygen-free high conductivity). **C10100 is the only grade of copper that comes with a written certification of purity. Certified by ASTM F68 **C10100.

I'm not saying this is will sound bad, I actually have an order I'm waiting on from Shunyata that hasn't come in yet. But after reading around "4 nines" seems pretty common, but to justify that it's only the highest purity of copper available" I'm curious what's different about normal copper from any source.
