I tried silver on IC and speaker wires, and found my tube system too bright, so I changed my speaker to copper, and now it is just right from top to bottom.
Silver interconnect and Copper spkr wire synergy
Contemplating going with a very nuetral(revealing) silver interconnect...such as the MAS grey or DH Labs b-1(silver coated?)...and then using a low(10) awg copper speaker wire(for low end reproduction)...seems like a good idea "on paper"...or is this a mismatch? ANyone else using silver interconnect/copper wire combos...or copper interconnects with silver wire? Another idea: Discovery NOS and dh labs t-14...

It's all system dependent. I tried silver IC's in various locations only to find that I lost that midrange palpability. Yes, the top end was airier and even the bottom end tightened up, but the midrange is where you live and magic there is important. I decided to make a hybrid copper/silver IC and it worked somewhat - midrange magic along with top end sparkle and bottom end extension & tightness. But it only worked well from my DAC to preamp - nowhere else (especially bad on phono). It's a trial and error thing, so don't jump to conclusions using a silver IC in just one place - move it around and definitely give it mondo break-in time (use a cable burner if you can) before you decide.

That's not synergy--it's complementary colorations. Check out this article: Complementary colorations |
