I will be purchaseing Silver Cable from Apexjr.com and would like to know what peoples experiences are using Silver for either Speaker Cables or Interconnects.
It's something other than the silver per se. I used to use AQ Diamond and Lapis (silver hyperlitz) cables and found them warm, mellow, and laid-back -- too much so, in fact.
I am in agreement with most of the above. In my own experiance, silver speaker cables do not work well in my Home Theatre, due I think, to the metal tweeters in my Def Tech's. However, I use silver/copper hybreds exclusively with my Talon Audio Speakers and find it to be much more detailed than just copper. The same is true for silver hybred interconnects between my transport & DAC.
I also was lookig for silver speaker cables and found that the really good ones are very very expensive. I ended up speaking with Bob Crump and he was very helpful in his opinion of why silver sounds bright and what he does to his cables to eliminate this. Haven't made a move yet but you may want to give Bob a call or email him.
Silver cables tend to be more sensitive to gauge than copper. I stick with smaller gauges because the larger gauges sound harsh. I also only use them for IC's, not speaker cables.
