Silver IC cable between Phono and Preamp

Hello Guys,

I'm thinking to buy 1.5mt RCA silver cable to connect my Grado PH1 Phono Stage to my Pass Labs X1
Now I have a 2mt. RCA Groneberg Quattro Reference, a very good european (Germany) copper ic cable but I'm curious to try a silver connection to get more detail , more refined hights and more "caramello" mids from my loved Grado Statement Master cartridge

Someone here could suggest me about good but not super-expencive Silver IC cables I could buy online without to sell my car?

Thanks in advance for your help

The fact that a cable is silver does not mean anything, except price. I have heard bright and dull silver cables, copper cables that have sounded better than silver, etc. Base your decision on listen, not on hype, and you will be satisfied in the long run

I've gone from really good contnuous cast copper to silver plated copper to okay silver to very good silver from my TT to the phono stage. What I learned was that the smaller the guage of wire (and also less wires), the less smearing I encountered. Now I use a single silver wire cable from MAC. It easily sounds the best with my system.

Sorry, I misread your post and answered about the wrong connection. As far as general I/C's go, I'm also a fan of Vampire Wire. The AI-II would serve your purposes as they are quite neutral with excellent tonality.

One last time trying to get it right. If you're looking for a terrific silver I/C at a great price, contact Steve @ My Audio Cables. He'll have what you want and You'll also enjoy dealing with him. It's a 10 day wait for the cables, but well worth it.
