Interconnect Cables

auxinput,

I agree Silver can sound "thin" compared to copper. It's not that I'm trying to get more of anything in particular. I just want to see if trying different cables will yield better results. I think you make a good point and you have convinced me to try copper cables.

Heh, my cables are all hand built using two braids of 20awg OCC solid core copper with rhodium XLR connectors.  The copper wire provides natural organic sound while the rhodium XLR gives the attack and high frequency detail and transparency.  Going with copper wire and gold plated XLR may be too warm/slow/laid back, but you can try it of course.  Copper wire with silver-plated XLR may be something you could try. Or the Audio Sensibility silver wire with gold plated XLR.

stringreen,

"Why would you not continue with Wireworld?" I may continue to use Wireworld. I'll repeat, I'm confident that my components are set and I'm trying to figure out if I need to change my cables. I was told my weakest link were my Wireworld power cords and Shunyata  powers cords were significantly better. I tried Shunyata and Audioquest power cords. I concluded the Wireworld was the best fit to my ears. Now I'm going to try interconnect cables.

I just received an Audioquest Niagara  interconnect cable. I'll post comments in a couple of days.

You guys don't seem to know what is possible with silver and silver alloy wires. Listen to Purist Audio Dominus, Echole and Stage III cables. Yes, silver is difficult to make sound right in certain aspects, but so is copper in other aspects. Word, mostly European word, has it that the current very best copper cables are Tchernov Cable Ultimate.
