What I've heard Siltech say...

I've heard the Siltech sales manager say that they use gold to prevent the degradation from eventual oxidation/corrosion you get with most other cables. In other words, their position is that other cables don't maintain their performance over time, and Siltech takes the position that their cables will not degrade over time.

I heard this statement two weeks ago in a consumer seminar we participated in at Celestial Sound in Evanston, IL.

Since I don't have Siltech cables, guess I have to assume that these guys have run exhaustive tests to determine the efficacy of their designs.

OTH - you could replace cables that oxidized after a few years and still perhaps not pay as much as the Siltech, a question to consider if you were buying the Siltechs primarily for their long term consistency.

Best regards,
