Dear @williewonka  : Till you test the AN silver cable you will know for sure what fogman is talking about. Your Cardas is not at the same quality level performance than the AN. You only have to test to confirm my statements.

Dear @frogman : The VDH that came or comes with today SME tonearms is not a standalone wire for sale.

 

That internal tonearm wire is way even more fragile than the AN one and I know by first hand experience when I " opened " the SME IC cable and I had to let it that way because I did not fixed again just can’t do it. I have not the rigth tools to do it that are like the ones of cartridge retippers.

 

In the other side I think that @bpoletti must be kidding about silver wire and if not then that could means that he has not the quality level room/system to be aware of the differences silver always made in a good system.

Dear @frogman  : The VDH you named is all you said but the VDH that today SME tonearms have is way different and really good.

 

I had several experiences with almost everykind of cables with Cardas and never was my cup of tea neither Discovery.

 

Audio Note is in a different league along Zavfino 1877.

Dear @jw944ts  : P3 is an excellent tonearm and you can´t go wrong with and silver wired. The 10.5" could be the best option for EL..

Dear @mijostyn  : No, it's not that his systemrequires silvertonearm wire. What I'm trying to say is that his system is a good quality one and if he decided for silver the system improvement will be higher than with cooper wire and the 3P tonearm is a good choice too.

Dear @jw944ts  : With out doubt you must go for the silver . The ones that could tell you other thing has not the kind of room/system you own. 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
