Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables


Some of the best cables are made of pure silver.  Do recording studios use silver cables?  I would think that top recording artists would want to use the cables that sound the very best.

Top recording artists don’t even know what cables are for .

Strange question.

Studios use Mogami, Canare or other good cheap copper by the kilometre or mile.

What I was getting at was that top artists record at studios that have state-of-the-art equipment.  Those studios wouldn’t use interconnects that are lower quality than the rest of their gear.  I expect that there are some people on the forum who are familiar with such studios.  From the answers it looks like some use silver or similar ultra high quality cables.  Others use regular commercial grade cable. 

Somehow, I don’t think top recording artists give 2 sh#%s what the cables are made of.

As a class, recording artists are like any other. There are some that extremely knowledgeable and some who are completely ignorant. Just like audiophiles. 🤣

Somehow, I don’t think top recording artists give 2 sh#%s what the cables are made of. Just FYI, some of the world’s most expensive cables use copper only. MIT, Transparent, Tara and Jorma come to mind. 

Actually, Jorma makes an all-silver digital cable. I was looking at it and then went instead with a Synergistic Research cable
