You want silver plated brass.
One can hear the nickel, in a good system. The McCormack is one of those ’good systems’.

eg, I can still remove all trace of all my posts, on this forum, at least the bits that have not been quoted. One at a time.
As for sound electrical theory, Geoff’s not really throwing fairy dust over it, it is just that measurements have little to do with how the ear or the amplifier works, beyond a vestigial connection.
Somewhere around 99.99 % of the people here who talk about electrical theory and measurement being king do not design and sell amplifiers and have pretty well zero actual lore and knowledge in these areas other than dogmatic text based references. It’s a very poor and weak position. Like debating football or hockey. Armchair stuff. They're not a player and they're not in the field.
