I suppose if you were to redefine 'alloy' to mean 'contains trace amounts' you could call some grades of aluminum 'titanium alloy'... lol. xD
for which light are u going to use it?
Trekking pole companies pull that kind of crap.
Probably made by the same Chinese scientists that developed that 100% pure oxygen free copper cable that my friend bought… it attracted magnets and had over 4 times the resistance of normal copper…
Aircraft aluminum = recycled beer cans LOL
Mine is magnetic too I just tested.
ferrous TI… 
Maybe they’ve also discovered cold fusion…
Do not judge BG too soon, did you check if it could be a high performance Ti-Ni-Co alloy ?
Maybe it was the magnets fault? Did you ever think of that? No, you didnt did you.
Maybe we could all contribute some cash to help wb launch a radioactive magnetic copper scud missile at the lying monkeys at bg and end their beguiled worthless misery. Id certainly be a major contributor in the interests of helping a good cause. :bigsmile:
Are you sure it's not titanium plated like many other Ti clips?
It’s the new titanium alloy developed for high efficiency reactors in the Cave of Tricksters
OFC copper is used since a long time for its superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, its serious and effective for critical application. Its similar to using copper spring in your flashlight, make no visual difference in the output and seem ridiculous for common people but it have an effect at high output.
I agree. Another worthwhile investment is anti-resonance wooden knobs for your receiver/volume control (but only if the anti-resonance wooden knobs are properly finished with a suitable anti-resonance audiophile-grade varnish!).
That made me test one of those Fastech Titanium “Keith” keychain things. The magnet did NOT stick. So, I guess its that or aluminum! lol
Sounds like your friend tried to cheap out on the cables! He should have tried one of these:

Seriously, quality cable have a effect if you use very long cable, every engineer know that. There is a reason why cables are twisted and shielded and made of copper.
And I was talking about critical applications, like power generator or scientific lab. Not 2 meters of cable in your saloon for your CD player.
BTW around 5 or 10% of the power generated from power factories is lost in the cables before it arrive to your home !

I think nobody doubts the benefits of using good cables, I imagine he was just mentioning the piece of crap his friend bought. It has higher resistance than copper, and it is magnetic… So it was a knock off.
Now, the other question is, is it worth the premium of that audiophile oxygen free cable over standard copper cable?
Lots of people will take the standard copper cable, me included, because it’s good enough.
In your streets there are much more Renaults than Aston Martin. The Aston is clearly better, but most people prefer to spend the money in a “good enough” Renault than in a luxury Aston
The application for the cables (4 gauge) was for the probes on a spot welder… they carry up to 20,000 amp pulses. OFC copper is more flexible than normal copper and has slightly lower resistance so the material is rather critical. The maker of the cable was a well known name brand, not a no-name knock off and they came from their authorized distributor.
When I was testing car audio capacitors for my spot welder (3 x 1 Farad low ESR caps) I only found three that came anywhere near meeting their published specs (Rockford RFC1, Monster Cable, and Scoche… Monster Cable caps tended to be the best, Rockford caps were the most consistent). All the others (over 20 different brands) were utter frauds and rip-offs. Most had only 10% –20% of their spec’d values. BTW, Scoche cable tested extraordinarily well and is flexible as wet spaghetti.
