Silver-plated or single metal IC's?

Dave and Tennis,
Hey guys just click my "System" link. (I agree, advice should be given in context- that's why I have my system linked to my profile : )

Agree with Clio09 on the MI-2; one of the all time high value products.

The silver/bad and copper/good position stems from a lack of experience with cables in general. Nothing more.

There are excellent and poor examples of both. To deny this is disingenuous.

Audiofeil, I must disagree with you...I have purchased and demo'd many fine silver cables. They simply have a cooler touch and not as warm a presentation generally speaking. Live music is so vivid and bold and warm and rich and full of dynamic life without any sense of edge or stridency...I truly beleive most people go by what they fantasize real music sounds like and not out of experience sitting in front of instruments being played live in a fine hall!

I recently spent quite a bit of time A/B comparing Audio Art IC-1(copper) vs Audio Art IC-3(silver plated copper) interconnects.

For me, it is just real hard to hear much difference at all. Maybe just a very slight bit more HF with the IC-3.

hi leica man:

i have reviewed synergistic research cable, but not the tesla. i heard the tesla cables this past january. i received a personal audition from ted dennehy.

sound was very very detailed. no romance or bloom.

i think that unless you have excellent recordings one may get fatigue. cables seem to be ruthlessly revealing.
