I kind of found out ( by accident ) that i typically prefer Silver digital cables.
I had bought quite a few various digital cables, most of them used and all of them copper as far as i knew. Out of the bunch, there was one that was really much more cohesive and natural sounding that had excellent detail. As it turns out, i had to take it apart to repair it as a loose connection developed. Lo and behold, i found out it was a Silver cable but with none of the glare or brightness that you read about. I have since moved onto another digital cable and it too is all silver. All of the benefits of the other silver cable but even more "relaxed" or "unstrained" sounding.
Like anything else though, it is both a matter of personal taste and system synergy. I know what i like and so far, most of my systems are plumbed with copper. Sean
