RCA cables silver,gold or copper whats better?

your a better man then me charlie brown if you hear a difference. I would think in the long run there is less maintenance with gold. But copper has the advantage of no plating. Its up to your ears only.

My preference is silver plated copper (because that is what I currently am using). I will admit though the different manufacturers do not always have the same sound characteristics with a given type of wire. In other words I have heard both great and bad copper and silver but not really gold. To me personally gold is a little too warm sounding in cables for me. Maybe because I have a tube integrated.

Just my opinion

For me it seems to depend. I find silver to be more detailed and copper to have more body and bass. I mix and match per component.

Pure silver cables all the way. They do sound better than copper, imo...at least on my system (Siltech Cables). Look at cabling as a vehicle to modify the tonal characteristics of your system. Some systems may fair better with cooper, other's with silver or a combo of both....only you can decide.

I have had good success using both silver and copper. It does pay, however, to carefully evaluate products from various manufacturers to see what works best in a given system. The cables to steer clear of is from DakiOm. The guy that sells these things is basically a 'raving lunatic'. It's not hard to see that from reading his rather lengthy ads. What he has to offer are products that add an artificial warmth into a system at the expense of everything else that audio enthusiasts value.
