Silver Speaker Cables

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!

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.

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.

These are very decent for not a tremendous amount of coin.  I've run them for years.

The other very good option is Duelund 12 gauge single wire you cut to length you need for your purposes.  This stuff is ridiculously good for not much coin.  You'll need read the specs.  No termination options, just wire and that's okay.

Remember, whatever length you need between component and speaker will need be quadrupled.  It's easy to order too little not taking into account the 4 factor.

I think any differences heard are so miniscule per dollar spent, you'd be better off buying better components than changing a cable.
