Copper vs. Silver interconnects


We are running two systems from one CD player. We have a SET (tube, obviously) amp, a hybrid (tube outstage) amp, and the CD player also has a tube. I love my Verastarr silver reference interconnects, but it's always fun to try out different cables.

I have listened to a variety of copper cables (Kimber, DH Labs, Analysis Plus, Harmonic Technology, etc.), and I find them to lack the clarity and lively authority of the silver cables in these particular systems.

My question is this: do I stick with the silver cables (or gold, palladium, beryllium, etc.), or are their some copper interconnects that would really be worth trying? I'm asking for your collective expertise/experience on this one, as I don't want to continue going through the process of buying and selling cables that are only going to sound veiled and/or dull in comparison to the Verastarr's.

Thank you for the input.

Boa try the TGaudio they are exciting cable. I also
experience the same thing with the Au24, although
they are excellent, what can I say.The TG cables
they let you hear so much, that they are not bright at
all.See, no one want to sell them?

If it ain't broke don't what ?..... :-) 'had to bust your chops ..
I am glad to hear we passed another challenge.

FYI, we will be releasing some single crystal copper IC's that are very high purity Copper, in about 30 days. I will send you a demo pair to test out against our SR IC. If you like it, you can trade in the SR's for a new pair of continuous cast copper. (I haven't named them yet.) After that, we can let them do a tour of Audiogoners systems. In fact, why don't I send out 2 sets for each user to test. Silver and Copper....When each person is done, they will agree to send them via Priority Mail ($4.00 flat rate envelope)to the next set of ears connected to grey matter. Keep them for a week at a time to allow others to try...

What do you guys think ??
Anyone game ??

I'm waiting....
Where's my demo pair, Mike????
If I like them, you can tell the next person in line to forget it, because I'm keeping them! I'm going to eventually spend bigger bucks just to try some other cables out, but thus far, I have not found an IC that I like better than the Verastarr.
Thanks for the offer, Mike. Can't wait to hear them.

In the interest of full disclosure, my family name is Verastarr. OK, just kidding...
H-,
I will be in touch when They are done. If you don't hear from me within 3 weeks... send a search party..
Cheers !!
Once you've listened to the Kimber Select silver cables (KSAG ****), you'll never go back to copper.
