Silver vs Copper cables


I've been reading the forums and noticed a few comments that silver made ic's and speaker cables sound better with solid state equipment. Would this mean copper cables sound better with tubes? Why is this? Thanks.

In my opinion about all you can say concerning this subject is that silver is a better conductor than copper all things being equal.

"In my opinion about all you can say concerning this subject is that silver is a better conductor than copper all things being equal."

Yet, there is significant debate as to whether this quality of being a better conductor necessarily correlates (or is even a critical factor) to a better outcome.

Wait, I need to fill up my popcorn bowl again.

Lkdog,

You thrill-seeker, you! Nothin' like stirin' up some good controversy and watchin' the chunks fly. Get in there!

Anybody needing some technical info on cable testing by a non-cable manufacturer, take a peek at Pass Labs web site, and locate the "articles" page (under "products"). Amongst several good topics, is one about speaker cable interaction.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with, nor a personal friend of anyone who works there. Although, I do own several of his products.

Okay, continue with the carnage!
It seems to reason if silver conducts an electrical signal better, the end result will be better sound. How about driving your car down a bumpy road versus a smooth highway at 60 mph, which would be the better ride? Unless you're churning butter for Lkdog.
