Cable Characteristcs - Silver vs. Copper


What are the various characterics that would described the difference in cable alloys (e.g. smooth vs. bright, etc.)? What about pricing / value?

Thanks

I've been following this thread with interest. I have been using CRL copper ICs and have been really happy with them. Based on what I have read here I have a pair of Auricle Audio cables coming to me. I'm very interested in hearing how they would sound on my DAC, which is the only component not using a CRL IC (I have Nordost Red Dawn on it).

As to the Luscombe cables, they look eerily similar to the cables that come with the Whest PS .20 phono stage. If they are the same or sound anything remotely like the Whest ICs, then all I can say is they can really deliver the detail in the music.
