Yes, in a way you are correct; the wire is white but over time became sort of brown toward the socket; this is either from the metal contacts of the socket having oxidized in close proximity to the insulation, or simply from the light colored insulation having been close to the heat... I cleaned the insulation using acetone, which restored the white color.
I see, it was dirt, I got it. The reason I asked is because in ML2 the 6C33socks is well isolated and it does makes sense and it is possible to do the in-line wire cooling. I thought that you’ve experimented with something like this. The idea is to have an extra foot of wire. You take the isolation off and then wind the wire around a pencil of something like this. What you remove the pencil you have a very mild choke of 3-4” long but the inductance of the thing is relevant. What is relevant is that the spiral of this think 10 ga wire hangs in air and dispatches hit very nicely. Since the spiral is solder to the pin holder than it presumably will suck out hit from the 6C33C pins.
