If copper was silvery and silver was coppery in appearance, many would reverse their opinions of the respective colorations.
Copper vs. Silver tonearm wire
The subject of tonearm wire was touched on in a related thread on tonearms. Long standing friend rauliruegas strongly advocates silver. I tried it and switched back to copper. I need to re-wire my HW-40 and because my hands are getting shakey with age, must now delegate the task so I want to get it right. VPI told me today that their upscale wire, Nordost, used to be silver, but they switched back to copper because too many people found the silver to be too bright. That was exactly what my impression was when I last tried silver. Thoughts?

@billstevenson : Silver Zavfino is way different than the Audio Note UK silver litz wire . Any kind of audio wire in any audio system link is system dependent and owner MUSIC/sound priorities.

Hi Raul, At your suggestion I visited the Audio Note UK website. Acquiring the material would be easy. Then I spoke with my dealer. The dealer is trusted and important because I am no longer competent to perform the work myself. With age my hands shake. Anyway, the dealer discussed the matter with VPI and the decision was made today to send the arm to VPI. So it will be done with Nordost wire. Many thanks anyway. Bill |
