@roxy54 Thanks! Very interesting and intriguing stuff. I had a very similar experience with LavriCables that are also 100% silver and about the same price. I’m still a bit skeptical that they only charge less than $20 more than their 4N interconnect (begging the question why anyone would buy that version) because I’m under the impression that 6N silver is orders of magnitude more expensive than 4N, but then again I’m a pragmatist above all and care most about the results and you’re clearly very impressed and happy on that level. Hey, now you can sell the Kimbers and come out of this not only with better sonics but also with a nice chunk of change in your pocket. Bonus! One question — a considerable negative with LavriCables, at least last time I checked, is that they’re non returnable as they’re made in Latvia. Is there any return policy for these if they don’t work out? Thanks again for your valuable feedback, and these cables are now firmly on my radar.
Xangsane SP-9001AG silver interconnect
So, encouraged by friends I've bought some bulk Xangsane SP-9001AG silver cable.
The cables has two squarish/flat solid core silver conductors (purity supposed to be 4N), one silver plated copper drain wire, teflon, cotton, copper foil, and finally silver plated copper mesh.
Jacket says OCC.
Well, it's been playing in my system since a couple of days, burn-in is far from being over, but I can already tell this is a very very good cable, with great tonality, fantastic transparency, dynamics, taut and strong bass... this is the best cable I've heardin my system (by hundreds of miles), and according to some friends you need to go very, very high in price to find a better silver cable.

@roxy54 Any update on the 9003? Curious minds wanna know. |
Looks interesting, but my radar is up to say the least. For example, I bought these 5N silver interconnects from LavriCables that, in RCA form (I bought balanced for my HeadFi rig), would be about $185USD for a 1m pair, so to be able to buy a 1m pair of 6N interconnects for $160 has me a little skeptical. I haven’t compared the AWG of the wire used so that might be some part of it, but my understanding is that 6N silver costs MUCH more than 5N. I get it — it’s China so things can be done cheaply, but then again, it’s China and things can also be done dishonestly. Looking forward to thoughts from users. https://www.lavricables.com/cables/reference-silver-rca-interconnects/ |
