RE: Homemade Biwire cable for Mini-Grands

Posted by Duster on August 10, 2012 at 14:42:56:
If you mean SPC/PTFE Teflon mil-spec wire, stranded silver plated copper conductors, especially that of mil-spec wire tends to sound bright and sibilant, if not obviously affected by a pronounced silver plated sonic signature for any audio application other than DC umbilicals, IME. Cable makers such as Siltech, Nordost, Van den Hul, DH Labs, among others choose to implement silver plated copper wire for their designs, but their products are a different animal than that of mil-spec wire.
