Are silver cables on the way out?

Gary-I used to be an advocate of silver until one day while listening I realized what I was hearing wasn't music, it was sound being reproduced. Silver gave my system a very forward sound, too lean, and very un-musical it was fatigueing to listen to(which at the time I thought was a power supply problem, ie power cords and line regenerators) I pulled the silver out of my system and a very relaxed musical precense returned. Silver tends to blow you away at first, I thought it made my system sound better then ever before-then I realized what I thought was better was just different. Silver does weird things to frequencies in the upper octaves, which can be confusing to an unsuspecting listener, knowing what I know now the only system I would try silver on would be a system that uses a SET amp, which also does weird things in the upper frequency range, which silver complements.
Hope that sort of answers your query though I am sure more help will be right behing my theory.

Tim; well said, I agree. You might want to check my thread on the FIM 880 outlet (It's still on the front page). I wrote a review that pretty much compared a good copper AC outlet to a good Silver plated one. Cheers. Craig

I've gotten good results with Goertz Silver Saphire interconnects. My Nordost Quattrofils are, I think, silver over copper and are superb. But older models of silver cables sometimes sounded extremely un-natural, particularly in the treble.
