SIlver Cable Experiences?

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....

I have never liked all silver until recently. First of all it should be cooked on a cable cooker for a long time.
I have used Valhalla on everything in my reference system including the digital cable. I just tired the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't like last years AZ and told Robert as much. He sent me this cable to get my opinion since I had told so honestly what I thought of the previous versions. Bright in the upper mid's and noisy. No more! beautiful detail and very musical. Well done Robert Lee.

That is a good story!LOL
Do not know how I will burn them in as you did.Maybe I will try using an Amp with a resistor hooked up to the end of the run for a few weeks continuous!

Lawrencegrac@msn.com you got it....Need some 225w 8r load resistors and a cheap 100wpc receiver, put it on a rock station, measure 4v av. out at the resistors and go away for a month.....Put a fan on the receiver as it will get hot......I do something else as well, but can't give it all away.......
