Are silver cables on the way out?


I have read a few comments recently in the forums stating concerns about silver or silver coated copper interconnects and speaker cables. Is there a contingency out there moving away from silver? What is the science behind this?

thanks, gary

I've used many copper and silver speaker cables of the Audioquest line. And the ones with the most silver always sounded better. But, you can argue that it is the cable's geometery and insulation material that made the biggest difference.

Is it really a trend that silver is losing ground to copper? This is bad for Homegrown and Bearlabs. But this is good for bargain poachers who are going to buy up all the silver cables that the people who are hopping on the copper bandwagon are going to sell at used bargain prices.
