Silver v Copper wire phono cable

I’d rather listen to a silver or copper plated turd than to silver plated copper.

+1 for Silver - it provides better dynamic performance and improved details and as a result the image becomes more lifelike and with more precision placement of artists. Also the micro details they convey bring out more of the venue acoustics (i.e. echoes and reverberations)

The one piece silver harness on my Audiomods tone arm provided a significant improvement

If you can get them to attach Absolute Harmony RCA plugs then go for it - they are amazing with the silver wire

I met a few like that, of course it was always impatience that proved copper clad is just fine.. I've never heard one out of the box that sounded good, BUT I make a better one by far than I could EVER afford.. My 200.00 DIY will match a LOT of very expensive phono cables.. Good copper is hard to beat too. Copper and silver wire in a nice combo too. Silver on the + and copper on the --.

Considering most Carts are wound with copper. There is silver too. BUT most is copper.. Nickel silver and white gold is pretty popular too..

@rauliruegas , what about his system requires silver tonearm wire?

Anybody interested in what tonearm the OP is getting?

@jw944ts , What are you getting? Hopefully good solid bearings this time? If so the tonearm will make much more of a difference than the wire. The one you have is....problematic to say the least. A Kuzma 4 Point nine would be nice or a Reed 2G if the Oracle can take the weight. A Schroder CB would be perrrrfect. I use one a Sota. An SME if you can get one.

REED 3P remains my first choice
