In Reply to: Why is Siltech the only line with a gold-silver conductor? posted by Tekunda on November 13, 2001 at 18:52:58:
The signal that you hear at the end of the cable is not the result of the electron you pumped into the other end of the cable traveling to the other end, but the field generated the pure fact of pumping electrons in, and the field traveling down the length of the cable. The sound of a particular cable has a lot more to do with its geometry, the insulators used, and the metal to metal junctions on the gross level. Now that is not to say that at the extremes crystal to crystal junctions do not count but one can only safely evaluate those if one makes the same cable out of different conductors. So it might be safe to say if the siltech cable was made out of copper it would sound less good than it was made out of silver/gold.dee
