Cable recommendations for cary slp-98p & cary 120s


Looking for some reconditions over copper or silver interconnects for my cary slp98p to my Cary 120s power amp. I am using Kimber silver streaks from my cary cd player to my preamp and made a huge difference in clarity and image and speed. But should a person go with copper for preamp to power amp or silver be better signal transfer?

Also would a Shunyata Zi-tron cobra power cord be a good choice for a cary power amp? Since i have shunyata viper Zi-tron power cords for the rest of my system."

Jakecanada, check out Audio Sensibility’s Statement Silver interconnect. They are made with Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) silver with a purity of 99.99998% (7N), terminated with Furutech and custom-made 303 Stainless Steel RCA barrels. Retail is only $399. They are a small company with excellent customer service and only use well known high quality materials/manufactures without the insane prices normally attributed to silver cables.

I changed out my Kimber Select series for these cables. No affiliation other than a happy customer.
Just like copper, the quality of the silver has a lot to do with the sound. High quality silver is grain free with extended highs and deep bass extension. IME, harsh sounding silver cables utilized poor quality silver.

I am not a big fan of the silver coated copper cables. If given the choice, I would choose a high quality 6N copper cable over a poor quality silver cable or silver copper hybrid. I would ignore any manufacture that does not state the purity of the conductor used.

Using a high quality silver phono cable from the TT into your phono section/pre-amp yields (IME) the greatest improvement.
