Silver v Copper wire phono cable

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

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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

Dear @mijostyn  : No, it's not that his systemrequires silvertonearm wire. What I'm trying to say is that his system is a good quality one and if he decided for silver the system improvement will be higher than with cooper wire and the 3P tonearm is a good choice too.

@rauliruegas , that is a bit different but, I get your point.

@jw944ts , The 3P is the glamourous arm but the 2G is a better design. It has a much better bearing topology. The problem for you is going to be the weight. Your suspension can only take so much mass back there. With the VTA gauge it might be too heavy. You best check the specs of your turntable carefully before you jump. I would call Oracle and make sure they are compatible.
