In all likelihood the construction of the cable, the shielding, the soldering or crimping, litz or solid conductors, the chosen connectors and Sod‘s law on execution have far greater impact than the metal choice. In general I find solid conductors preferable over litz. But in the end it‘s all trial and error. Keepimg cables short is the only other advice that comes to mind
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.
