Are silver cables best for my system????


Right now I am running Kimber KCAG's I have extensively burnt them in. I ran them a week in a cable burner. They mellowed out a bit. My system is as follows. Shanling mod 1+ from Parts Connexion. Adcom 750 preamp. Bryston 4BSST amp. Accoustech PH1 Premium. Acoustic Sig Final tool with Graham 2.2 with silver Kimber phonocable. Tandberg 3014A. And a PS Audio P1000 power plant. Transparent speaker cables ($1400) dont know which model. And PSB Stratus Gold speakers. My system has a lot of detail but lacks some warmth. Are my cables too good for my system??????? Are they revealing the flaws of my less than A+ components??? Any help appreciated. Thanks

In my experiences, silver cables tend to be more revealing and transparent, while copper cables tend to be warmer and more musical. This is a generalization, but I've found that it holds true for me.
Now, each will shine it the right system. I've found that silver will sound best in tube systems and/or with warmer speakers. While the copper will sound better with solid state equipment, and/or with speakers that are leaner sounding. Neither copper or silver is better, they both are system dependant.

So I wouldn't say that your cables are too good for your system, but I would say they aren't a good match for your system. Try some nice copper interconnects.

Audioquest silver offers the best of both worlds. Not inexpensive but worth it.
