Help Please....Interconnects...Silver vs. Copper?

there is no reason to look at the question as one of exclusivity. have you considered silver coated copper ?

my current reference cable is ear to ear black. you might want to consider an audition. as i hear it, it provides a low noise, grain free, balanced presentation.

you can read my review on audiophilia.com.

Try Canary Audio's interconnect cable. I have their silver/nickle RCA cable with WBT connectors. I like it very much.

Mechans do you use cardas power cords as well?

Definitely demo the JPS Labs stuff.

The difference between the materials is easy to generalize however the material does not have as big an impact as the entir package. The sound you get will depend on gauge the braid if it is braided the sheilding, the source cable quality etc. otherwise I would recommend copper but most are mediocre. Silver is expensive band not particularily the best choice for a slamming SS amp. Save your money and get Cardas Golden (fill in the blank it changes often) perfections. They are euphonic and as warm as a nice fire on a winter day.

Personally, I don't like either one (silver, copper). Check out something in the alloy realm like the Gabriels. There are others also worth an audition as well.

Arkprof,
do you have any comment on interconnects??

I loved my 804N's ... used them with a Musical Fidelity A-20 and then Classé 101 and 151's ... so much build quality and sound that only got bigger and more profound without ever breaking down into jibberish ... those and the 803s were simply great speakers that were questioned far too much

Anybody have any feedback on the Tara Labs RSC Air 3s?

with b&w, copper or maybe hydbrid deigns like van den hul

For your system I think Copper is the only way to go.

I love my Noedost Heimdall IC's.

you can try searching for used Purist Museus here. They sometimes pop up for $250.00 for 1 meter

Purist Audio Design is definitely too pricey.
I guess copper it is.

copper would be better.
check out the ones from www.analysis-plus.com

if you have more budget & want a warmer bias, go to the purist audio design cables.

Hope that helps.

If you like you sound brighter,then it's silver,If you like your sound mellower then copper.Thats my opinion only not everyone else.

Other options: Nordost Red Dawn, JPS Labs??
