RE: DIY Auditorium 23 speaker cables

Well, I'm not sure that there are electrical features of that speaker cable that aren't wholly encompassed/expressed in its physical features. If I can get the same plugs, the same wire properties (metal, construction, size, dielectric), the same twist ratio, and the same soldering properties (probably impossible), what else is there?

I'm sure the only candidates are copper, silver-coated, and silver. I include copper, because the photos I saw may not be trustworthy. I am inclined to try copper first, despite the photos, because 1) Art Dudley was convinced of that, and 2) I heard my system on both copper and silver-coated copper Wireworld Eclipse 7 cables, at my dealer's, and the silver-coated cable sounded harsh immediately, obviously. It was night and day. However, if I like what I hear, I think I would be willing to make a second set out of silver or silver-coated copper, just to tinker.

May the bridges we burn light our way....
