Silver Speaker Cables

+3 @jimski 

@lak Out of curiosity, what interconnects did you compare your Lavricables against?

1. DIY Kits: Some companies offer DIY kits that allow you to assemble your own silver cables. These kits can be more budget-friendly than pre-made cables and still give you the experience of using silver in your setup.

2. Budget-Friendly Brands: Look for audio cable manufacturers that offer more affordable silver cables. While they might not be as high-end as some of the well-known brands, they can still provide a noticeable difference compared to regular copper cables.

3. Used or Secondhand Cables: Check for used or secondhand silver speaker cables on online marketplaces or audio forums. You may find cables from reputable brands that are being sold at a lower price.

4. Silver-Plated Cables: Instead of pure silver cables, you can consider silver-plated cables. These have a layer of silver on the surface, which can still offer some of the benefits of silver at a lower cost.

5. Smaller Gauge Cables: Larger gauge cables tend to be more expensive. If you have a small to medium-sized audio setup, you may not need thick cables. Opting for smaller gauge silver cables could be more cost-effective.

6. Negotiate with Local Dealers: If you have a local audio equipment dealer, visit their store and inquire about budget-friendly silver cables. Sometimes, they might have clearance sales or special offers that could make them more affordable.

Ultimately, the best approach is to try out the silver cables in your own setup and see if you notice any discernible improvement in sound. If the difference justifies the cost for you, then it's a worthwhile investment; otherwise, you can stick with more affordable copper cables without feeling like you're missing out on a significant upgrade.

@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.

     Tried some Monster (many decades ago),  AudioQuest and Wireworld's best.            Then: leaning toward Analysis Plus's 'Big Silver Ovals' for my system, based on the reviews of a few trusted individuals; I let AP's science, measurements and NASA's testing/comparisons/experience with them* cinch my decision to buy a pair, some twelve years back.

                                 NEVER a moment's regret!
