Silver is quick and known for helping to deliver as much detail as possible. Your experience is not unique. Silver often leads to a sharpening of the sound. However as was said the better conductance of the silver may be exposing some other weakness in you system. Silver does burn in like all cables and will mellow but only very slightly. It may not be a good match for you. I use Silver on sources both PCs and ICs and then use really good copper down the chain to balance the character of the two metals, works great.
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.
