Re: does it overcome

Hey Jon,

As an engineer, I will shed some light on the latest Palladium craze. Palladium is the new buzzword, IMO. The metal has poor conductivity so it must be alloyed (typically silver). There are many "recipes" available and the cost for this wire is about ten times that of silver. Siltech learned long ago that gold/silver alloys took the edge off plain silver (they are also in the mining business). There is more to a cable than the wire. IMO, the dielectrics are just as critical. Witness the cotton vs. Teflon trend and air cores.

The Titanium’s do have more body and are sweeter than the Paragons. This is stated in their overview. The cables are rounding out now. Music sounds live than recorded. I now have the cable between my preamp/amp. I would suspect that a fully wired system would yield a true measure of these cables.
