Let's talk about Silver...


We got off on a short tangent in another discussion about the merits of silver in cables, but we did not want to derail that conversation. So I thought I would start a general discussion where folks can share their experiences, and opinions of course, with silver cables. This can include solid silver, silver plated or alloys, wire, connectors, analog, digital etc.

The knee jerk reaction in the audio world is to say that silver is bright, and in some cases that may be true, but I think it is not a universal truth. I am currently trialing some solid silver interconnects, and I have had some good success with silver in the digital realm. Please share your experience, and opinions of course.

@zlone 

any more thoughts on the merits of pure silver over pure copper in digital cables?
 

I’m using Purist Audio CAT7 (silver) Ethernet cable and like it.
I’ve also used AQ Diamond USB (silver) and it was good. I actually found it to be smoother than the copper Audience FrontRow.
