Silver Speaker Cables


I would like to try silver speaker cables. I have always been curious as to how they would affect the sound of my system. That said, I have a very limited budget. Is there such a thing as low priced silver cables? If so, recommendations?

Thanks all!

I would restate that large-gauge silver cables (AQ Kilimanjaro, Everest, Wildwood - though the latter are hybrid, they have the equivalent of at least 11 AWG solid silver content) sound very different and much better than smaller-gauge silver (AQ KE-4, SR Foundation). Large gauge silver doesn't have any problems with being too lean, tipped-up, lacking warmth, or having anemic bass. The sonic difference is big; the problem is cost, and actually getting real silver content - not plated / clad / fused / "bonded" etc. The AQ’s are easy to open up and see all the discrete silver wires.

The question becomes whether the most expensive and thickest grade of Lavri cables gets you close enough to the AQ solid silvers.

There was an earlier thread on this question that has since been deleted unfortunately. The OP had AQ silver cables and then moved on to Synergistic Research silver cables. He subsequently compared both to his Lavricables Grand and preferred the latter in his audio system. 
 

Obviously only one individual’s listening experience but it generated a good discussion. Too bad it is not still available.

I also asked him if I could pick up the cables if I bought them, since they are only 1hr south of me. He said no.

Recently purchased an RCA cable from Lavricables (Master line of 14 strands of 5N silver laden cables) and placed it between my DAC (Schitt Yggy) and my preamp (Rogue RP-1). Previously, and everywhere else, I had/have Audioquest Sydney interconnects. 

Since the install, the sound excelled just like everyone (except naysayers) said it would here in this thread. Thank you all for the advice as the soundstage, air, clarity, etc. all were upgraded. I had Lavricables burn-in the cable for 150-hours before shipping, so it was simply install and listen to the change between a copper and silver cable and it is - without a doubt - a step-up and worthy investment. I could not find any other cable manufacturer that could compete with the price of Lavricables silver cables content. 

I am not real active in Audiogon, but I can typically find good advice here and appreciate all those that put their two cents in to guide other audiophiles to the promised land of super sound. Thanks!
