" Whether you dab our silver-saturated, hyper-conductive contact lubricant on the AC plug of PlayStation 4 or on every plug a high dollar McIntosh audio system, the results will be stunning! Delicate acoustic guitar overtones stand unveiled. The scream of over-driven electric guitars cut through with extra edge and punch. Your feet can feel the new impact of contrabass, organ, and tympani through the floor boards. Expect equally impressive results for picture quality. Edge resolution immediately sharps, new details emerge from the shadows, color is more vibrant, menu guides and other on-screen texts is clearer and easier to read" Pierre Sprey (I assume) Comment about his Sil Clear product My low resolution system is a Playstation 4. Is that low enough guys??

That's funny. Only a moment ago you were condemning that company for making thin cables.
But now you seem to be confusing marketing blurb with fact.
And also you are deliberately misrepresenting what Jeff said. He didn't say anything about needing a good system to hear wire gauge differences, but he did point out that such things are system dependent.
What he actually said was:
"I still want to know what your system is, the high resolution system that allows you to hear the differences in solder, and gets bright when you use any silver wire or solder"
And I agree. You'd need a decent system to have a chance of hearing that imho.
However, did you consider that you can maybe easily hear the difference between different quality soldering? If your soldering skills matches your grasp of electronics, this might be a valid point. I'm sure you will angrily disagree, as you seem prone to, but knowledge and experience in electronics is often correlated with competent soldering skills. Neither are something you are born with.
... any (all) silver wire or solder is bright. I do believe I have made statements that I don't want or use silver in the signal path because of brightness or unnaturalness issues but didn't mean it as an indictment of ALL or ANY silver products. If taken that way I may have misstated. In my experience I don't like it or want it in the signal path.. In talking about brightness in solder I made it clear that my experience was with one silver solder and not any others and that I had no intention of ABing a million different types of solders. As to silver wire many think certain silver and silver plated wires are bright. It has been pointed out that this may or does depend on the type of silver, hard or soft... I like the sound of cu in general and stick with it. Can't test everything. Hope someone out there learned something. Some silver wire is considered not to be "too" bright. If that were the case I could be very very nice because of, at least in my limited experience silver can be incredibly clear and smooth. Tweaker
You are correct about what YOU see as an inconsistency. I completely disagree with Mapleshade's thin wire theory. So glad you are trying to be so helpful. I also don't like or use silver conductive gease in the signal path for personal taste reasons. I prefer carbon conductive grease in the signal path. Silver in the power supply. That silver or carbon conductive material on connectors has a big effect on sound anyone in this hobby "should" be able to hear even if they don't have Martin Logan Monoliths.. Along with what I think about Mapleshade's notion of thin being better are his ideas of lifting speaker wire off the ground, a great tweak, brass under equipment, fantastic. My system is a PlayStation 4, and please don't forget to point that I misspelled grease. Tweaker
