Silver cables

I am interested in purchasing silver rca cables with a budget of around $100.00-$200.00 for the pair. I have not seen many pure silver cables in that range with the exception of some offerings from Soundsilver and Darwin's original cables, but Darwin's have jumped quite a bit in price recently. Any suggestions, or any experiences with Soundsilver's offerings or any other silver cables in my price range . All suggestions/critiques will be greatly appreciated.

You might want to take a look here. I have their DNA interconnects and x32 speaker cables. They offer an in home trial period as well as a trade up policy.

I use Clear Day solid core silver cables and they are nothing short of fantastic. I was using Morrow SP-6 which cost a lot more than the Clear Day. The Clear Day blows the Morrows away. An 8' pair of solid core silver cables price is $135.00. Visit their website and speak with Paul. He is the nicest guy and very upfront and accomodating. He will let you audition them and will give you excellent advice. www.cleardaycables.com

Minilogo, sorry I was referring to Clear Day's speaker cables, not rca interconnects.

...just wondering why silver is your preference. Silver is not necessarily better than copper...

I could hear the difference when I tried silver cables. Clearer and sharper. I disturbed me to know that the type of metal made a difference.

I subsequently upgraded to silver throughout, and I am very happy with my sound.

My interconnects are AudioQuest AudioTruth Diamond X3 and my speaker cable is AudioQuest Dragon.

I noticed the price of silver went up substantially in later years and cable manufacturers seemed to switch away back to copper and silver coatings.
