Speaker cable advice


I have a pair of Clear Day speaker cables and am looking for an upgrade as I think they are now the weak link in my system.  Looking for something a tad warmer as well with more fleshed out tones.  Any advice appreciated.  

My system: Rega Osiris, Rega Isis, Rega Aura, Rega P10, Harbeth C7ES-3, Shunyata power

Avoid anything that is silver-plated. 

Anything with silver will make your system sound brighter. (Conductivity at 106%) 

Go for a continous cast copper with high purity.

Absolute nonsense. A myth repeatedly propagated by inexperienced listeners.

I am a prior owner (and lover) of Clear Day Double Shotgun bi-wire speaker cables, and a current owner of pure silver Audio Note SPx bi-wire. Neither were/are brighter than copper, or other multi-alloy cabling I have owned.

Agreed. I've had Clear Day, Tempo Electric, Cabledyne, and now Darwin cables and they're all silver and none sounded bright. They can sound as full bodied as copper as well.

All the best,

My Harbeth C7s respond very well with a larger gauge copper,11 or 12 gauge rather than 14 or smaller. They sound fuller,warmer,and seem to have a bigger soundstage. I stumbled upon this trying two pairs of 13 g from amp to speakers. Any high quality copper with good connectors would be worth an audition.
The best I've found for my specific system (Aric Audio tube amp) are 11g ZenWave copper ribbons.
I'm also a big fan of Paul's(R.I.P.)Clear Days.
