sivler interconnect

i like this dialogue. thank you gentlemen for your insight.

i will describe my components shortly.

if i listen to 5 pair of silver cables and describe the resulting sound as i have alluded to, and then change to a particular cable and the sound changes, what does one make of that.

if i can identify silver cables whenever i hear them in my system or that of other systems, i allege they have a character and are not neutral. i believe silver cables are not neutral.

they portray the sound of instruments in a way which is less credible than when using a variety of copper or copper/gold cables. this is my perception of silver cables.

i have auditioned hundreds of stereo systems, many of which used silver cables and the result was not pleasnt. with such a track record of evidence, i stake my claim.

now to my system and preferences.

i have quad63 speakers, a houston 50 watt tube amp aand vtl deluxe 120 amp, a maple tree pr3eamp (6sn7 from Canada), i have an audionote cd2 tube output stage cd player, a cal labs alpha and delta, legenburg line cords, dcca interconnect, speaker cable and line cord, soundstring interconnect and line cord, sunny cable technology interconnect and line cord, solitone speaker cable sound fusion sound boosters anti resonant devices under components, ps audio ultimate outlets and juice bar.

yes it's a hodge podge with more than one set of cable.

i like a vintage tube sound, specifically, attenuation in the treble, past 3khz, a very distant perspective and a slightly ripe uuper bass, lower mids (a slight boost between 100 to 200 hz).

my system is , scd1 sony , trisita 21 dac , A3.2 amp and preamp musical fidelity, 927 be jm lab , all interconnect straigh wire serenade and one pair kimber kcag , i do not like kimber kcag , i found they are so bright cable in my system , now im looking crescendo interconnect to use them between amp and preamp , or i can look for another brand , my buget is 300 - 500 for 0.5 metter , please give advice, thanks

MrT, I would think Cardas Golden Cross wire would be right in your sweet spot. Have you tried this cabling? It has every characteristic you mention as being pleasing.

i have not ever tried this cable , but i wonder about this cable , these cable are expensive ,but they do not come with the box , only the plastic bag,i think the people make this cable right ? so how do you known which one from dealer or from custom cable

gentlemen:

i have tried the audioquest jaguar and i have owned the cardas golden cross, the cardas golden hex 5 c, the quadlink and the twin link.

those cables are unbalanced. in the case of audioquest, too much upper midrange and treble energy.

in the case of the cardas, a bit forward in the upper midrange.

the audioquest sounded like there was some silver in the cable, perhaps all silver or silver coated copper.

the cardas is a copper cable.

right now the dcca interconnect and sunny cable technology interconnect seem to work for me.

thanks for the suggestions.
