Silver v Copper wire phono cable

@tablejockey +1 for sure!

+1 for Erik.

Silver or copper but not silver-plated copper, please.

What about copper plated silver?🤣

Either way, litz wiring is a plus. I don't care for working with it though.

For reasons I cannot cite, I don’t think silver can be plated w copper. In any case, I get the joke.

Of course it can. You can plate anything even people.. The French did it at in the late 1800 to early 1900s. You can electroplate a turd. Probably sound better than some cables.. Just sayin'

I use OCC copper with silver mill spec clad. It just takes a 1000 years to break in.

So we are clear it's no easy task to break in silver anything in a phono stage. There is a reason a lot of phono stages are voiced with copper. 1000 hours just to sound good. The signal going through a complete phono stage, beginning to end is the lowest of all. It takes a long time to break in.. plane and simple. Don't believe it.. Who cares, your wrong.. 50 years tinkering with phonographs.. Some thing you just learn from others who have done it 60 years before you or me..

It pays huge dividends to condition yourself or send it to someone that does just that break in phono cables. Tonearm wire to the RCAs and ground wire used.. Balanced if you look at the circuit on a tone arm..

Why a ground wire on a phono RCA cable, TOO?  Balanced maybe.. Just something I read somewhere.. :-)
