Funny thing that you mention gold as a conductor. A few (10+) years back Siltech used to play with gold conductors. At one point they offered the same cable with diff count of gold wires - FTM-4Si which was pure silver, FTM-4Sg which used one single golden wire, and FTM-4Su which ATAIR used 4 golden wires (the rest was silver). Me and all my audio buddies who have heard them, all prefered the least expensive, all-silver version. Siltech quite soon abandoned that technology.
Whatever happened to Straight Wire?
Hi
It seems like Straight Wire is moving towards obscurity.For the past 10 years i haven't heard anything about any new products (Crescendo cable came out over 10 years ago and i rewired my system with it),they do not advertise and i haven't seen their cables on display in any high end stores around NY area.I hope everything is well with the company because it was their Crescendo cables that gave me a decade of sonic bliss.
