Silver Speaker Cables

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.

Every electron I have ever interviewed has their own opinion as to what material they most enjoy traveling on.

Maybe interview a few electrons on both kinds of cables.  The hard rock ones have their own point of view, but the classical ones, well, I will let you do your own research.

Cheers!

Very good distinction Lak, and good advice.

Thanks for the system info. I don’t know what the sound characteristics of your preamp is. But looking at how many functions it has, I would be a bit concerned it might not be up to silver… would you consider your system to be pretty warm? If yes, then silver may be ok. Again, I would try DHLabs.

I think the thread does a good job of pointing out the possible outcomes. Maybe it would be best to try some from cableCo.
