I’m pretty sure that not all silver is bright. But which one? You can take a chance and see if you get bright silver. Or you can play it safe and get a good copper wire. There’s no right or wrong in copper or silver. You like copper better so go with copper.
Copper vs. Silver tonearm wire
The subject of tonearm wire was touched on in a related thread on tonearms. Long standing friend rauliruegas strongly advocates silver. I tried it and switched back to copper. I need to re-wire my HW-40 and because my hands are getting shakey with age, must now delegate the task so I want to get it right. VPI told me today that their upscale wire, Nordost, used to be silver, but they switched back to copper because too many people found the silver to be too bright. That was exactly what my impression was when I last tried silver. Thoughts?

I am with @artemus_5 on silver. It can be different with different systems. I play it safe for the most part on the analog side and use copper. Cardas in my tone arm. DH Labs BL-1 feeding my Phonos. |
