Serious Question About Silver vs Copper Conductivity for Power

I don’t deny that conductors can and will degrade overtime. However, there is an electrical feature called, "Dielectric Bias Field." This is where the insulation becomes more polarized over time by electrical flow. The "break in" period is the time it takes the insulation to becomes fully polarized and no longer impacts electric flow.

Your original post talked about silver versus copper, and a few people brought up the dielectric, including myself… as being potentially of greater importance.

If you were concerned with that, then AQ biased cables would have been a choice to consider.

The PC’s, (power cord’s) weakest link is the 7 small solid core silver insulated #28awg wires that make up the Hot and Neutral conductors and the safety equipment ground conductor of the PC. Any flexing of the cable, especially at the power connectors can and more than likely with the passage of time will cause breakage of the small #28awg wires.

Accounting the manufacturer the ground is copper. So that is great that the ground if potentially more durable.

The URL says Silver/Silk, but the description says Teflon.
They (Lavri) also recommend it for loads much smaller than amplifiers (As highlighted below) , which others have pointed out with the math on currents, and watts.

• New carefully braided 14 core pure silver mains cable.
• 5 cores of 5N solid silver wire AWG28 are used for Active line and 5 cores for Neutral in order to transfer AC voltage.
• 4 cores of silver plated copper 0.3mm diameter are used for Earth line.
• Aimed for Preamp, DAC, Streamer, Headphone amp.
• Unshielded design brings more air & transparency to the soundstage.
• Woven Teflon Litz construction is ideal to deliver RFI and EMI rejection and provides low capacitance.
• 5N silver transmits electrical signals faster and with less distortion than ordinary OFC wires.
• High grade Teflon insulation gives a predominant air dielectric and is regarded as the best insulator for bare cable.

Be patient. The cable is currently burning in. Cook your popcorn and get your incendiary, troll comments ready.

@guakus how are you “burning it in”?

1. Just plugged in and nothing playing?
2. Or playing some sound?
   1. And then how loud is it playing?

Usually when a posts starts out this way, it begging for argument or suggests paranoia.

Yes, I realize that this topic is going to bring out the sharks, but if I get at least one serious response, it will all be worth it.

^It^ is a clue, for the wise, to stay away.
(As I did not, it shows evidence of a lack of wisdom on my part.)

Guakus you have serious problem why you need the center on what you deem is relevant to what believe you know and argue calling people names, what wrong with you can be resolve on Audiogon. Don’t be a DICK.

@jew16384 At this point let’s give the OP the benefit of the doubt that he/she may have issues that we really don’t need to know about, and cannot help their communication style.

If we stick to facts and take a helpful tone, that is about the best that we can do. So let’s just avoid getting sucked down into the mire.

@jew16384 I have called no one names, but you have.  Pretty sure you're headed down the road to being banned.  Bye.

You all need to understand something.  You have no power to stop me from posting.  You don't have the power to stop me from asking questions.  I am not at all obligated to believe anything you say if I don't think it is correct.

The only people with that power are the Administrators and Moderators on Audiogon.  If they don't like my content they'll remove it, as they have on a number of posts in this thread.

I have an important conclusion coming, this Friday. I will be posting that conclusion whether you appreciate the content or not.  There is absolutely no rule that I am violating.

I am not certain what type of individual you are used to harassing, but I won't be intimidated by any of you. So, by all means continue to reveal who you really are in this thread; it will make no difference to me.
