litz vs silver plated for power cord?

I use the following wire from Take Five Audio

https://www.takefiveaudio.com/products/1098-mil-spec-12-awg-silver-plated-copper-cryo-treated-green/

It's the best I have used to date - for all types of cables.

It was better than Furutech, DH Labs and Neotech

I've used the same type of wire of various gauges, with great success on Speaker, Interconnects, and power  cables

Hope that helps

strange, what is the military's use for silver plated cables?

anyway, an increase in HF sounds good if that means an increase in quality/resolution of HF too, and bass quality doesnt decrease.

Thats a great price for the Take Five wire, too bad im in europe, BICC plated wire from Hifi Collective in the UK is the best alternative Ive found.

Get Purist Dominus Diamond MK2 its the best by far.

@ebm...you know, I’m really agreeing with you more and more.  I’m loving the PADs with my Tannoys.  In fact, I think I just got another Tannoy owner hooked on them today!  Only cable I’ll own now.

....more on topic, Cardas also does litz and they make great cords depending on your gear.  Yes, Wywires as well.  Silver plated copper is not necessarily a step up.  Stick with stranded or litz and keep an eye on inductance of the specific cable.  Lower inductance is better and they need not be shielded.  Best.....

Silver plated will be of zero benefit when you are dealing with 60Hz AC. The skin effect becomes a factor three orders of magnitude beyond that. Litz is also wasted on 60Hz for the same reason. All you need is stranded copper of sufficient ampacity for the load. For example a turntable consuming a steady 35 watts is more than fine with an 18AWG cord. A power amplifier rated to consume 300 watts might consume brief peaks 25% higher than that, and is still adequately served with an 18AWG cord, (remember that peak of 375 means 3.3 amps at 115 volts), but it “feels better” having a heavier cord, so manufacturers usually bump it to a 16AWG. In fact, a little resistance in that power supply cord is a benefit, since we can put a nice, low impedance RFI filter in the power supply input stage, we need something upstream to sink that noise. So when you are looking at power cords, remember these things and that the old adage “all that glitters is not gold” holds true here too.
