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.

In the pro world there is some acknowledgement that cables can sound slightly different, but by far the most important quality of a cable is that it is wired correctly and works.  They are tools in the music production arsenal.

I can't say for sure, but I imagine it has to do with the quality of the studio.

I know that Pink Floyd, when they were recording Dark Side of the Moon, went through every single cable they could get their hands on during the recording/mixing/mastering process in order to get the sound they wanted.

 

And recorded some of it and mixed at Producer’s Workshop, one of the least "advanced" studios in LA at the time. But oh, the sound...

Correction: The Wall, not DSotM which was recorded @ EMI Studios, now called Abbey Road.
