Bare naked or...?

Is there a big difference between bare speaker cables over terminated ones? Can anyone tell me if really terminations can effect sound quality a lot? If yes, what is the most common problem? Also, squeezing bare cables on tighten bolts can "compress" or "compromise" sound?
Thanks for any suggestion from a confused audiophiler.

i believe litz wire is coated. does this mean it won't oxidize for a very long period of time.

alnog the same line, is it possible to coat copper wire with some kind of lacquer which will prevent oxidation but enable the wire(s) to pass a signal ??

Sure MrT, take a look at Speltz.

The idea of bare wire ends on speaker cables has really captured my imagination. It makes a lot of sense to me. Now to find a low-cost way to experiment...
