I agree with Bo1972, what he writes is right. I use Sky all over and also have Cheetah cables. In a good System you can hear the difference at once (Sky has a wider frequency reproduction with more body overall). silver has the best information transfer possible (AES standards).
Silver gives you simply the most information, when someone does not like it, then the reason for it is somewhere else.
I agree, with some components you can't use silver because it will sound harsh, thin, analytic but that's the sound from the units, not from the transfer medium.
