Silver Speaker Cables

Thanks for all the feedback thus far! Appreciate your input.

Having used and experienced both I found that silver provided more detail and an improved soundstage.  They can, however, brighten your music a bit too much.  I am not sure of your amp and speaker combo but that also plays a big role.  Amps I demoed and heard were Boulder, Luxman, McIntosh with Martin Logan, Wilson, Focal among others.  I thought silver was too bright with Focals, but the best combo was Luxman and McIntosh with Martin Logan's. 

Good Luck and let us know how you make out.

Personally, it think silver adds sparkle to the top end. That becomes brightness in some systems. McIntosh takes well to silver and I use them in my systems, both ss and tubed. 

If you need more high-end sparkle and sizzle, silver cables can be the way to go.

I’ve tried silver cables, but prefer copper in my system.

I can’t really recommend a "cheap" silver cable, but I would point you to usedcable . com and take a look at what they have in stock. (I like SR cables, but they’re not really what I would call "cheap".)

You’ll get a chance to try out some brand name cables in your system, and not break the bank.

If you don’t like them, you can always resell them. (I think they’ll let you return them with a restocking fee, if you so choose.)

In a revealing system, you will most certainly hear a difference. It can be rather profound, depending on the equipment used. You have to find what your system and your ears like.

Good luck.

There is some very good advise provided above. One bit of caution, in my opinion if you want true silver interconnects, speaker cables, power cords etc, (of any kind), make sure you purchase 5N silver. A wire that is copper with silver plating will not sound the same, and you should want to be talking apples to apples and not apples to oranges. Also expect about 200 hours of break-in to achieve the best sound.
