SIlver Cable Experiences?

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.

What's the addy?

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.

I recall buying about 5 figures worth of 16ga 99.99 silver wire, custom printed heatshrink and connectors and then at about 42 days of 24/7, but maybe 5 hours of normal listening levels a day the speaker wire started to break windows from two blocks away, sinking ships and scraping the wall paper off the walls in the upper midrange....I then spent six months figuring out how to configure and break the stuff in so it wouldn't do this as that sort of investment could not be regained selling the stuff off as clothes line....Without getting into specifics the bottom line is that silver needs to be put into a situation wherein it is run hard and put away wet well past what it will ever see on a musical peak or it will be bright on those peaks....
