Bass Cable-Copper or Silver?

I agree with Sam, the cable guru. I would go with AudioQuest Midnight personally. It is a large gauge cable, which can be purchased at a good price(used). It is AudioQuest's largest copper cable, which is what is desired in a cable used for bass reproduction(will be less current limiting). As to copper or silver, for LF, I would go with copper due to the lower cost. It is much harder to differentiate minute differences in LF regarding cables. Mids and HF easily lay bare the differences in cable. Silver is only bright if it is not used correctly. If it is stranded, or of incorrect geometry. Actually, silver is smoother than copper, if the right cable is used. Compare AudioQuest, Silver Audio, etc. silver products to copper.

Using AQ Argent(top) and Midnight3(bottom)with great success.Keep as short as possible. Any other questions feel free to reply! charlie

Thnx for the responses. I havent heard the A/Q Clears yet, I should get them in the mail in acouple days. Bought them used here on Audiogon. Selling my Purist Colossus because I need longer length. Figured if I dont like the Clear I can resell. I have B&W Matrix 800's that have 8 speaker post per speaker so I plan on running the Clear BiWire to the 4 mid/high post and a single run to the bottom set of bass post and use a jumper to the top bass. Not to many high end cable stores here in town to demo cables.(only Nordost-Kimber & Purist) so I gotta take a chance here. I think I will try 2 find a pair of Midnights or Forest. Thnx for the info. Anyone selling a 10-12' pair?

DJ, have owned B&W 801s for about 10 years. I've biwired them using Audioquest Dragon for Mid/ High and Audioquest Clear for Bass. Killer combination with Levinson 23.5. Good Luck!

Forgot to mention Bob Cohen at Cable Company www.fatwyre.com (y'all likely know him) may offer some good advice/suggestions + you can try cables from the lending library for a negligible fee. Regarding the Sluggo sentiment: are you going to continue your abuse until Audiogon permanently kills these chat-sessions (they are quite fed-up with your ilk, as are most of us here). This is another perfect example of the reasons they're threatening to shut it down. Take your abuse to AudioReview; you'll have plenty of company. We're interested in helping & advising each other here, so please go away.
