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.

Robertsong, I wish there were a simple answer to your question. Perhaps the pc has settled down now, perhaps not. I have never tried an all silver power cord and presently use only copper power cords, I do generally believe metals sound different, but there are many other factors that affect what you hear. I think in interconnects, silver, especially long linear crystal silver is clearly the best metal.

All that I can really say is to buy what you prefer.
Jwm, I think a music lover has never experienced the thrill of realism and the audiophile I revere has. I have no use for bells and whistles audiophiles.
