Nice review, Bixby!

I've heard (and use) the Pulsar terminated with copper Bullet Plugs and copper NextGens, but not the silver version of either. Your experience is the reverse. I can only wonder then... while I expect the presentation of the silver versions of both to offer *definite* improvements; is the essential sonic signature of the two low mass type connectors still present as compared to the copper versions? I have come to believe that copper vs. silver has a substantial impact on how a connector performs, but does the "essential sonic signature* of these two low mass type rca connectors have more to do with the design than the materials? Meaning; that which can be identified as sounding *similar* between the copper and silver versions of each product (I don't mean the Bullet Plug and Nextgen as compared to each other).

Unless I read a comparison review, I will always wonder if the silver versions of the two connectors would have sold me on their use for general purpose line-level interconnects instead of my choice of a more conventional high-performance rca such as the Xhadow rca (and lesser cost Furutech FP-126 rca) which I'm enthusisatic about. The Pulsar is so versitile when it comes to connector choices... Thank you again for your post :-)
