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. |
http://signalcable.com/silverresolutionspeaker.html 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. |
In some scenarios this could certainly be the case given the many independent variables of specific audio systems. I can say that this sure was not my outcome. I remain very happy with my current components and have no interest in wholesale changes. The addition of high-quality pure silver cables has been terrific in my audio system. Charles |
When swapping components in the ~10 - 20K MSRP range, the differences are significant but matching considerations with the other components dictate whether the resulting system configuration is good or bad. Swapping copper for large gauge solid silver speaker cables provides me a "yeah that’s better" reaction with all the "good" system configurations. It’s not that copper sounds bad, but silver gives more lifelike detail. That, for 2K - 4K in used deals, was well worth it to me - the next level up in components is not going to be achievable for that little extra amount. |
