Copper and silver cables and bass response

Just changed out my Kimber KCAG silver cables and put my old Tara Temporal continuum cables in my system. Wow the bass was more powerful and deeper. What gives. Should I not use silver between my amp and pre amp? I read a while back that silver is best between other components. Is this more or less true? The KCAG's were more detailed. How good was the Tara Temporal continuum in their day? any opinions appreciated. mike

Depends on your gear.
My old Tannoys loved the solid silver speaker wires,the Grand Veenas did not.
Nor did the Grand Veena's like any of the stranded copper speaker wires I had at my disposal.

What has proven to be the best speaker wire for my Grand Veenas is a bit of DIY.

I use solid core copper 10 guage Romex in combination with the solid core silver.

I won't try any one's intelligence with reasons why this works,that it does to my ears is all that matters.

Maybe it will work for the OP too.
