Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper?


All things considered, which is the better choice for best sound, silver (for example, Siltech) or UP-OCC copper, such as Furutech or Neotech? Thanks.

I don’t know I’m confused.. Water seems to help, oxygen too.. ;-)

Am I reading this right? 2014 this thread started? I am confused! I see a slow dismal demise of my dashing dimples and wondering mind...  What happend?  Mike Tyson, after Buster clocked him good.. :-)

@nonoise - When you say jumpers - are you using the metal jumpers that come with the speaker?

If you are, then yes, the jumpers are the issue
- but rather the making a second set of cables try some quality jumpers like these ones on @grannyring 's system page - he loves them

grannyring's System - Virtual Systems (audiogon.com)

Also take a look at this thread - the Helix Speaker cables are exceptional

@williewonka ,
Actually, I was using a pair of DH Labs silver plated OFC copper jumpers and for the longest time, and thought they were great. It was when I tried using the Tempo Electrics on the high connectors was when I realized some musical information was AWOL, along with cleaner and clearer highs and lows. This will take some time. 😄

All the best,
Nonoise
OK, so I forgot about Google. Magnet wire has, as an average, a dielectric constant of about 3.75 - 4.00

So that is nowhere near Teflon, and not so good.

I see you are also a Tempo Electric cable user as well. It would be interesting to see how a set of bi-wire Tempo Electric speaker cables compare to your single wire experience. My Neotech high definition silver speaker cables sound better in bi-wire configuration with my speakers, Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference from McIntosh Mc2301 amps. I used the classic Audio copper jumpers at first, but felt that the imaging was slightly subdued. How long are your speaker cables? I need a pair of 10 feet and prefer bananas.
