After posing the silver comparison question to Gordon Rankin, he advised the following:"There are 2 main differences between that and the standard." "The silver which I will describe later and the size which is 4x larger than it's copper counterpart." "The larger size will yield more inductance which means better bass preformance. But larger in copper would cloud the presentation so that is why we made this only in silver." "Silver does many things that are not explainable in engineering terms as silver and copper have about the same electrical capabilities with the nod to the silver." "But silver flushes out detail better and creates more of a realistic presentation than does copper." "It's a significant difference as I have had several standard bricks in my system the silver is significantly better."
With that said, you should love the Brick, and finding a 500GB drive shouldn't be a problem, there are many options. The cost per gig for 1/2 and full TB drives has been steadly decreasing. When my son and I started seriously ripping several years ago, breaking the $1.00 per GB barrier was a good deal, now one can easily do so.
As far as I'm concerned, PC Audio is the only way to go. For the most part, it's a better bang for the buck, and the flexibility of the computer is amazing and I still can't get over how good a PC can sound as a transport.
