SIlver Cable Experiences?

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.......

Send them to me and I will be happy to cook them for you Lawrence at no charge.

I'm using Audioquest Diamonds from Dac to Preamp, and they've sounded better than anything else I've tried including most of the HT line. I have solid state amp
Bryston B60. But I did use copper from preamp to amp, a pair of XLO Type 1. I've read a some reviewers at Soundstage that concurr that this mix of silver and copper sometimes works (silver from the source component and copper from preamp to amp). I've never found silver to sound too bright or hard, but it does seem that there are differences in silver interconnects. AQ Diamond X3 can be had used for pretty cheap these days so it's certainly worth a try.

Very limited experience here;nevertheless, I will share.
I used AQ Argents, half copper half silver, with Alphacore AG interconnects when using solid state amp, Aragon 8002. But I prefer AQ Midnights with Monster Ref. 2 copper cables with Audio Research integrated amp.
