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.
I've noticed the same as Jmcgrogan2. My silver cables were very detailed, but a little bright. I always go with copper now. But I like warm and fuzzy.
