Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Disagree; my Vandersteen 5a's come wired with silver...

...wire (see link below under "components", next to the picture of the crossover), and Audio Note is well known to use silver in their equipment (speakers and electronics). I also do not agree that it has to be all silver or none. In fact, I tried Audio Note RCA jacks in my amps and took them out because I did not like the sound. I switched to the OFC Vampire jacks.

I certainly agree that all of these things have different sonic signatures, and it can come down to just the metal used. I found the Oyaide wall outlets sound radically different between the two types I tried, the GX (gold) and XXX (palladium). I certainly think that improvement is in the eye of the beholder, and have also sold off a supposed great silver interconnect and switched to copper. That does not mean that there is not a silver interconnect out there that would be better for my system, though.

I agree with you..."improved" vs. "changed/different"...that is in the ears of the listener.

BTW; "signal purity"...look at all that crossover stuff, and the rest of the chain...the signal goes through all sorts of substrates...
