Silver cables and CD players

Try JPS Labs aluminum alloy cables. If you're like me, once you've heard them you'll never go back to copper or silver.
I know, aluminum sounds funky, sorta like cheap storm doors and flameable houses built in the 70s. But Joe S. has come up with a truly remarkable product that delivers the detail and openness of silver, but without the brittle highs, and with the warmth and richness of copper. Certtainly worth demoing a pair. You could always demo your favorite copper, silver and JPS cables from the Cable Company for a modest rental-goes-to-purchase-price cost and then buy what sound best to you.

>but without the brittle highs, and with the warmth and richness of copper<

This is an old wives' tale that has perpetuated erroneously over the years.

Copper is not warm and silver is not etchy.

I've owned/heard grainy copper cables and mushy silver cables.

Once again, it's about the implementation not the conductor material.

I prefer silver with a polyethylene dielectric or silver/copper teflon material wise. Solid core for interconnects, stranded for speaker cables, but some semi-solid core silver plated copper sounds very good as speaker cables. Listen, listen, listen. Each amp/speaker/cable match will be different. jallen

I can't believe Feil got one right! And he used a five syllable word! I would only add that the quality of the conductor is very important. Perhaps we can include quality in the scope of implementation.

It depends on the silver and the gauge. Clear Day Cables uses a wonderful sounding silver in both their speaker cables and Hologram interconnects.

PS Audio also uses an excellent silver in their Transcendent series
