Wire differences explained common sense


I need to share what many other audiophiles may have missed. About me Im a 52 year old critical listener to the point I have to make myself just listen to the music and enjoy. What prompted me to write is a very long article in Audioholics and one thing stuck out was there is no difference between copper and silver.

Ok well there is. Im not a PhD or scientist but a very observant listener. One day I replaced my Silver Kimber KGAC with Tara labs copper interconnects. I listened noticing the sound become a little richer and full. I then put BTO "Hey You" on vinyl and something happened. I did not startle as the song starts. I always play it loud and I always jump just a little. I restarted and turned up volume as much as I dare and still no body reaction. I switched cables and bam, the dynamics returned and I was startled when song starts even though its about to begin.

It is scientifically known silver is a faster conducter. Hence maybe why it can be harsh on some setups. I have only 2 full sets of interconnects like above for the last 10 years. I have changed them out many many times and have noticed small differences each time. I have a cable burner also. My advantage is by not having many different sets of interconnects to confuse I can zero in on the 2 I know.

Just my observations here.

I don't. And since we are indulging in idle speculation, I think that if I sprouted wings and could fly and Zach Galafinakis sprouted wings and could fly, I could fly farther and faster than he. Being lighter than Zach and all. I think that this would fall into the category of common sense, which we flying audiophiles are known to have from time to time.
Cryo'd cables are better conductors than non cryo'd ones. Purer metals are better conductors, too.
It'll most likely be different to some degree (how much and in what ways is always the question) but there is no guarantee that a better conductor results in better sound. The opposite is quite possible.

Its true though that having multiple data/reference points can be beneficial to help find the right solution in the end, even if it might end up coming from Home Depot.
