In Reply to: Why ever use copper wires instead of silver? posted by jult52 on December 21, 2009 at 09:35:03:
of different topologies and terminations.Copper, silver clad copper, silver, very high gauge and low gauge...they all sound differently and have their pluses and unfortunately their negatives. I like silver for phono applications but use a combo of silver clad copper from the arm to the Piccolo and silver to the the preamp.
All silver, at least the ICs I had in this configuration, obscured some detail in the lower treble range. All copper was muddier than all silver.
The combo I use now ends with silver at the speakers, copper from pre to amp, TelWire, which in my system may as well be "NO-wire" as it has no discernible sound signature in any place I tried it.
Could it be better yet? I'm happy with what I hear...if I get a bug in my ear to try another combination I'll, of course, try it. Right now I have enough to try any combination anyone could dream of and all are good wires...I'm wire rich. I probably have invested as much in wires (retail...I never paid retail in my life...well, that's a lie) as I do in my system gear itself.
The point is that you can drive yourself crazy with wires as easily as any other part of this hobby but when the rubber meets the steel platter or the plastic pulley; or the bits and bytes, in fact, bite...it's just the music...that's all that counts!
