In my experience with my components I found all silver cables lighten the bass and brighten the treble. Presentation is still smooth but brightened. Soundstage slightly more open but overall there is a lessening of warmth. All copper has the exact opposite and can be too warm. I prefer silver clad copper and have had great success with cables from DH Labs. When trying their upgraded all silver I found them too thin and bright for my system.
Let's talk about Silver...
We got off on a short tangent in another discussion about the merits of silver in cables, but we did not want to derail that conversation. So I thought I would start a general discussion where folks can share their experiences, and opinions of course, with silver cables. This can include solid silver, silver plated or alloys, wire, connectors, analog, digital etc.
The knee jerk reaction in the audio world is to say that silver is bright, and in some cases that may be true, but I think it is not a universal truth. I am currently trialing some solid silver interconnects, and I have had some good success with silver in the digital realm. Please share your experience, and opinions of course.
