STUPIDLY high resolution pure silver interconnects
Metralla, If I could find a source for pure solid silver foils, I would give it a try. But THAT is indeed impossible pretty much. 
B&K AVR 307 receiver + B&K Ref 200.7 Amp
I own the AVR307, and unless your speakers are VERY, VERY power hungry, I do not think it will make enough difference. What did make HUGE differences though, was when I made my own power cables, interconnects, and speaker cables !!! Why, I do not ... 
STUPIDLY high resolution pure silver interconnects
Metralla ... I can't even afford the Vacuum State interconnects I copied at $800 pr! Much less the more expensive foils Vacuum State sells. That's why I copied them .. LOL 
STUPIDLY high resolution pure silver interconnects
