Silver vs cryogenic treated copper

No one knows because there is no "better". Some may like silver, some may like copper, some may like gold, some may like palladium, some may even like a combination of some of the above metals. However, what others like has no bearing on what you would like. What one may hear as "better", you may hear as "worse".

Sorry, just like choosing ice cream, there is no absolute "better" flavor, only opinions.

Cheers,

IME copper has more body, silver more detail. What works depends upon what you want/need.

Truer words have never been spoken!! Thanks,John.

I prefer the greater conductivity of annealed silver (where affordable and practical) to maintain retreaval of signal and tune with tube swapping. I like the idea of at least having maximum signal transfer and go from there rather than try to recoup something that is lost. But that's just my take on it. I'm sure that many others have their own path on this topic.

Good Luck

All good replies so far. What I use are hybrid designs. For interconnects- stranded Continuous Cast Copper + Soft Annealed solid core silver. Listen for yourself, and settle on what sounds "best" to you.
