In Reply to: Anyone else prefer silver interconnects on their CDPs? posted by Don T on November 14, 2006 at 12:28:21:
I started by replacing the crappy U-jumpers between amp and preamp on my NAD with Silvery First Y silver ICs. They really improved the sound quite a bit and no harshness or brightness. They're still in that key spot in my rig.Bought an older Silver Audio set of silver ICs for my CDP. Those were great- again, no brightness - for years. But swapped them out when I started using Berylium Copper ICs from Auricle Audio Design. Now I use the Auricle Be/Cus in most other places and they are more natural and balanced, while equally revealing as silver if not moreso.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend silver, but always make sure to remind people that it's synergistic and idiosyncratic with cabling! Al Sekela has taught me well that RFI intermodulation artifact control is exceedingly important in removing what people think of as "brightness" and harshness and glare and sibilence, etc. So it may be a matter of factors other than the silver wire itself.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that the low metal mass terminations in the Auricles are equally important to that balance and transparency as the metal in the wire. YMMV.....
