I tried a pair of Kimber silvers and they were too bright in my system. I love to hear it when people say cables have no sound. They're right its just wire, but that wire can effect the sound of a system. My neighbor was a non believer until I put a pair of PBJ's between his cd player and pre-amp. I have no idea why cabling can change the character of the sound in a system but it does. If one is using a SS pre and power amp with speakers that use a metal dome tweeter stay away from silver! Still a non believer, find someone who has a cd player that has two outputs. Connect one output to the cd input using your favorite interconnect, then connect the second output to the aux input of the pre amp using the suspect cable. Put in your favorite cd and switch inputs while listening, done it been there, for whatever reason differences were heard!! Now dare I say it, resolution is not the end to all ends, what combination keeps your foot moving and takes you away from thinking about the gear and more focused on the musicians! Not until you can really enjoy the players can you really enjoy the gear.
Brand new silver power cord is bright sounding
Hi
I bought this brand new 10awg power cord with silver plating, and I am trying it out with my integrated amp. I noticed that the music is brighter (almost shrill) sounding, but otherwise very good. Could be b/c the cable needs burn in time? I have also read somewhere that cables with silver can sound sound brighter. At this point I don't know if the problem is the particular cable or not.
