RE: Pinging TanteJuut

Hi Oscar,

That looks like and interesting cable.

Allthough silver is the best conductor and silver plating can combine the body of copper and the lushness, detail & endless decay of silver, it doesn't resonate with me personally. My problem is the transient response. Pure silver wire and connectors don't have this problem as much as silver plated connectors and wire. The attack of sounds (especially on the low end) are a bit recessed with silver (but you gain the detail and endless decay we all love). Rhodium counteracts the silver in my opinion brilliantly with its punchy & organized character.

But there are always some caveats. 'Multiplating' can also sound like the sound is partionalized instead of a 'whole' and that there is a breaking point in the frequency spectrum and time domain. So I understand the 'just pure copper' type of audiophile.

Sometimes I think I must simplify my cables because most pop/rock music is recorded with simple copper wire and my system is spotlighting the mistakes record engineers make. What is your point of view on this matter? Are our cables too good for the type of music we are playing?

I haven't changed anything lately. Still happy with my Viborg 512,Odin,Oyaide C-004 power Cables and Audioquest Angel with Aeco 4055 RCA plugs.

It is good to see that you are picking up Dusters legacy. I think you fit the bill just right with your experience and polite conversation skills.

All the best Oscar. Judith
