Silver IC cable between Phono and Preamp

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.

HI,
CHECK OUT VAMPIRE SC/II YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP YOUR CAR.

I have tried 3 different silver hybrid cable interconnects:

1. Better Cables Silver Serpent
2. IXOS Silver Gamma3
3. Signal Cable Silver interconnects

This is also the order of my preferences. I found that the Better Cables interconnect best preserved the detail and warmth of the music. The IXOS was similar in that respect, but a shade less warm. Both the Better Cables and IXOS seemed to get along with different speaker cables that I used (QED Silver Anniversary and Signal Cable basic copper).

The Signal Cable was a different story. I paired the Signal Silver IC with the Signal Cable Silver speaker cables ... talk about wretched excess. After listening to enough systems over the years, I find I can sometimes notice subtle differences, but almost never is there a jaw dropping experience for me. Not so here. The combination of the two produced an almost screechy effect in the highs. I replaced the IC with the Ixos Silver Gamma and things were OK again.

The morale here is see if you can audition before buying.

Regards, Rich

Is there a reason why Silver is the material of choice in this particular application

I'm looking for a cable as well and interested in hearing more
