Silver Speaker Cables


I would like to try silver speaker cables. I have always been curious as to how they would affect the sound of my system. That said, I have a very limited budget. Is there such a thing as low priced silver cables? If so, recommendations?

Thanks all!

I'd also like to say thanks for your kind comment, starts my morning off on a really positive note ;-)

I own the Grand Lavricables; RCA & XLR interconnects, power cords, speaker cables, and speaker jumpers. I just ordered a third Grand power cord and I'm a happy customer.

I highly recommend:

There are several levels offered at various price points, I use the Grand power cords and interconnects (RCA) in one system and will receive the Grand speaker cables this week. I do hear a difference between speaker cables including copper vs 5N silver.

There is some very good advise provided above. One bit of caution, in my opinion if you want true silver interconnects, speaker cables, power cords etc, (of any kind), make sure you purchase 5N silver. A wire that is copper with silver plating will not sound the same, and you should want to be talking apples to apples and not apples to oranges. Also expect about 200 hours of break-in to achieve the best sound.

"This mirrors my experience with high-quality silver cabling. In addition to the "lifelike detail", I experience increased openness, air, and a more convincing natural tone and timbre. System, component, and wire quality dependent of course"

@charles1dad, I agree 100%, that's how I would describe the silver wire in my system also. Excellent description.

@jayctoy I've received my Lavricables shipped quickly with UPS.

Custom orders took one week to produce.

@tump350 & lancelock; great news, please keep us posted on the progress.

 

I own the Grand Lavricables (5N) (Power cords, RCA & XLR Interconnects, and speaker cables) all in one system and I agree they are exceptionally good-sounding products. My thanks to charles1dad for introducing me to the brand.

@vsrrr; Other interconnects that I tried and use in other systems I have are Audioquest Silver Extreme, Powell Silver GrandIllusion Signature II, Zavfino Fusion, Cardas Clear Cynus, Diamond9, High Fidelity CT-UR, Cerious Technologies Graphene, Duelund, Western Electric, Soniquil, to mention the interconnects I remember I'm sure there are others. Not to say that the Grand are the best, just that the silver interconnects, silver speaker cables and silver power cords (all Grand) have very good synergy with my integrated tube amp and tube amp.
