Silver cables

According to Tempo Electrics' website, 4 nines silver it about the best you can get unless you work for NASA and have deep pockets. They go on to state that it's the softness of the silver, not the purity, that matters.

As for me, I just ordered 8' of 16 gauge pure silver cables for under $380. They've been using the same source for some time now, here in the good old USA.

All the best,
Nonoise

A bit over your budget, but a used pair of Acoustic Zen Silver Reference (I or II) are nicely detailed but also musical. Best of luck.

Nonoise very recently began a thread asking about Tempo Electric cables which I had answered in very high favor of. Had that thread been deleted???
Joseph Levy constructed me a pair of Speaker Cables and Interconnect Cables of which I have been using with two pairs of Wavelength Amplifiers (300B & 45) and Beauhorn Virtuoso Speakers 106db
I am extremely happy with both pairs of cable's performance and Joseph's ultra fine customer service!

Ok, please read my review of Amadi cables. He makes the Maddie Signature which sometimes go up on auction. They are world class and will outperform silver cables costing several thousand. I have heard these vs some of the popular cables listed here and the gap to get to the level of sonic joy of the Maddie is wide, very wide.

You can contact the builder through one of his Agon ads. No doubt they are the best silver cable possible anywhere near your budget. He is humble and just flies under the radar. Philip will let you test and is patient. Good luck.

Hi Grannyring, Would you like to compare with Tempo Electric ICs?
I would happily send you a pair (no Big-Twist WBTs, to be fair)
