Duster, I'm wondering what silver-clad wire you've tried that isn't mil-spec wire? Is it something manufactured specifically for audio?
Follow Ups:
Siltech, Van den Hul, DH Labs, XLO, Vampire, LAT, among other cable manufacturers implement silver plated copper conductors that are specifically designed and manufactured for audio use. The only high performance use of mil-spec wire that I've personally found for audio applications is for DIY DC power umbilical projects.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but what info do you have besides marketing type that states that the silver-clad wire used by most of those cable companies is any different from Mil-Spec wire? And by different, I mean more or less heavily silver-clad, or employing higher-quality copper cores, or different strand counts from what you can find offered by any number of wire manufacturers? I know Nordost silver-clad wire is made to spec, but which others use (provably) unique silver-clad wire?And yes, I am a pessimist. Every time I read another bogus claim about 99.999999 percent pure conductors, it just reinforces my skepticism about what I read in manufacturers' advertising.
It stands to reason that since mil-spec wire is not so good for audio, reputable cable manufacturers would require a more suitable conductor for their needs. There's often information to be found on cable manufacturer's web sites about their particular designs. If you seek proof, I have nothing to offer.
