Neotech vs Stager silver solids


Hello

I need 2 XLR IC from Dac->Preamp->Amp.

my setup is:

Sonus Faber Electa Amator 1 speakers

Atmasphere MP-3.2 Preamp

Audio Research Reference 75SE amp

Teddy Pardo DAC


I thought between Neotech NEI 3001 or NEI 3002 I have experienced guy to make me the cables, with the Neotech xlr connectors.

to

Stager Silver Solids.

I want to keep the sound timbre lush but accurate and fast, without adding too much color to the speaker which already has it own signature, so I think maybe something netural will be the best. 
 

any other suggestions, budget is around 500-600 for both cables.

 

thank you

Before purchasing, you should definitely see if you could borrow the silver interconnects that you're considering for an in-home audition with your audio system, because system matching with silver cabling is a requirement.  If you're not careful, silver cables can easily tilt your system toward the bright side of things.  The one time I did venture to try silver in my audio system, they ended up being a little bit too sharp for my taste.  In my current audio system, the only silver cabling  I use is, one cable (power cable), that's a hybrid silver/copper cable, with excellent results.  However, when it comes to interconnects, high quality copper XLRs have pretty much always been my go-to  interconnects.  I would say that, quality copper XLRs would be the safe bet for you, as well.  Happy listening.      

I my experience the biggest difference between any interconnects is fhe difference between silver and copper.  You're looking at one of each.  Because the current is very low, a quality silver plate is almost the same as solid silver.

This is a heated subect, so I'll preface it that this is my opinion based on my experience.  I'm not trying to say those that disagree with me are wrong.

I find that silver tends to boost the highs, which some intepret as degrading the lows. Turn it up so the lows are the same as they were with copper and you have boosted highs.  

Some people are finewith the boosted highs.  this can be because their system is a bit weak in this area for their taste.  It can also be because they have hearing loss in the high end and this works great for them.  

So if you are happy with the sound of your system with copper interconnects, stick with copper.
