About 15 years ago, I tried a high quality pair of pure silver interconnects in my audio system, but they actually were too bright for my taste. Currently, I use a super phenomenal pair of top copper interconnect made by Audioquest (Thunderbird XLR). I honestly believe that the Audioquest Thunderbird interconnects are my end-game interconnects. My speaker cables (Superconductor 3), and one of my power cables (Aluminata) are made of Alumiloy (JPS Labs). Then, I also utilize one Audioquest silver/copper power cables (Firebird) for may DAC. My other two power cables, and my ethernet cables are all made of copper. I'm extremely pleased with the sound quality that the mix of audio cables produce in my audio system!!! Happy listening.
Let's talk about Silver...
We got off on a short tangent in another discussion about the merits of silver in cables, but we did not want to derail that conversation. So I thought I would start a general discussion where folks can share their experiences, and opinions of course, with silver cables. This can include solid silver, silver plated or alloys, wire, connectors, analog, digital etc.
The knee jerk reaction in the audio world is to say that silver is bright, and in some cases that may be true, but I think it is not a universal truth. I am currently trialing some solid silver interconnects, and I have had some good success with silver in the digital realm. Please share your experience, and opinions of course.
