a budget cartridge with silver coils still makes little senee.

"Still Working the Problem"
a few high end silver cartridges and i also own a high end empire with silver coils. I never could attribute the "sound" of the cartridge to having silver coils. Having the Empire re-tipped from boron with a VDH stylus to a Soundsmith ruby OLC made a difference in sound but i still cannot "hear" the silver in it. As a matter of fact the Empire is a somewhat "mellow" sounding MC even though it has all the creeds to be very extended on the top. The Win Research SMC-10 is a lot more "bright" or forward and has Cu coils and the same cantilever and stylus.

I have owned several ZYX cartridges over the years and i have two Airy 3 of which one was silver coils and the other was Copper. I have heard many prefer the copper, but my ears could not tell the difference. I agree the contacts or solder points are more influential than the coil material. As i reworked my leads on my Maplenoll, i hardwired the leads directly to my Phono preamp thus eliminating several solder points. That had a far greater impact on sound than the copper vs silver coils.
