Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper?

Conrad Johnson SC-1 Preamp sonographe Sell or fix?
If you haven't used it in 10 years you clearly aren't going to miss it. Put it up for sale with the switch problem noted, for a reduced price. The new buyer will likely try to clean the switch themselves using a product like Deoxit. Since you don'...

Review: Aerial Acoustics Model 8b Speaker

Cary 500 MB or Mark Levinson 531H
If you really want change get a pair of very powerful tube amps. And for those who don't like the chill, big tube amps do a great job of warming up your tootsies (toes).P.S. Don't actually sit that close to you amps 
A little help please
I think you are in for a let down of sorts. I can't think of the last time I saw a system here or anywhere in audio world with a prominent cassette player. That said I do remember a somewhat competitive auction for an immaculate Nak Dragon. If the... 
Silver cables or copper?Any opinons.
