Silver cables

I could hear the difference when I tried silver cables. Clearer and sharper. I disturbed me to know that the type of metal made a difference.

I subsequently upgraded to silver throughout, and I am very happy with my sound.

My interconnects are AudioQuest AudioTruth Diamond X3 and my speaker cable is AudioQuest Dragon.

I noticed the price of silver went up substantially in later years and cable manufacturers seemed to switch away back to copper and silver coatings.

I wonder about these pure silver speaker wire claims. Price out say 12 gauge 6 nines silver wire by the foot and you will see that it is impossible to sell any product in the sub $500 range.

Go for the Clear Day cables... they're priced below you maximum budget and come with a 60 day return guarantee.

Signal Cable produces excellent cables at very reasonable prices.

According to Tempo Electrics' website, 4 nines silver it about the best you can get unless you work for NASA and have deep pockets. They go on to state that it's the softness of the silver, not the purity, that matters.

As for me, I just ordered 8' of 16 gauge pure silver cables for under $380. They've been using the same source for some time now, here in the good old USA.

All the best,
