Pure Silver Wire
If silver is so good to use why do we not see solid silver speaker cables? Price is not that high- 10ga diameter pure silver 6ft is just under $300. That makes a pair of speaker cables about $1,100 for material. I see the price of some of these cables on the market and $1,100 is a fraction of their asking price.
Strictly, digital 1s and 0s are interpreted from analog waveforms approximating square waves. Picking the leading edge is important from a jitter perspective. Approximating a square wave requires lots of higher frequencies in the signal, and that's in addition to the high base frequency - 1.4-Mbits per second for two channel CD quality. |
@richardbrand while what you say is correct, it doesn't cause silver to preferentially transit one frequency over another. |
To the original point... solid silver is expensive and occupie only the top of a cable manufactures line. My Wireworld Platinum speaker and IC cables are silver and sound wonderful. The speaker cables are much richer sounding than the Nordost Valhalla 2 copper/silver cables they replaced. Audioquest's top of the line cables are solid silver and violently expensive but highly regarded for example. |
@coppy777 Well those WW Platinum Eclipse ain’t cheap either! I opted for the less expensive WW Gold Eclipse 8’s and they are really nice.(CONDUCTOR MATERIAL-4N Solid Silver) |
