May 11, 200620 yr comment_8466 Hi Guys, I want to end up in heaven , not hell , so please tell me which is better. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind, so as not to be narrow minded. Report
May 11, 200620 yr Author comment_8482 Even Google Trends agrees with this poll so far! Well, I took out "the One" because it totally crushed the wires... Report
May 12, 200620 yr comment_8694 Neither. I suggest a platinum-iridium alloy for all your wiring needs. It's ludicrously expensive so it must be good, plus I don't think anyone uses it for audio cables yet. Report

May 12, 200620 yr comment_8696 I still like the mercury cables the guy keeps selling on headfi... Report
May 12, 200620 yr comment_8699 I picked Silver because it's the closest to what really is best. Silver-Gold not that I am biased in the least Report
May 12, 200620 yr Author comment_8701 Personally I'm still down with Roller-Skate Powder made of Shakti Stone. Report
May 12, 200620 yr comment_8751 Mmmm, shiny silver wires.... I also rather liked the silver-gold cables I got to try out. Report
May 14, 200620 yr comment_9013 I still like the mercury cables the guy keeps selling on headfi... mmmmmm mercury. I really love gold alloy... too bad I am not able to get it anymore... aside from that silver alloy is also a great wire. So I guess I like all and none of the above. Pure gold is fun too... its quite different sounding. I have a mini cable I made out of it. Report
May 15, 200620 yr comment_9020 Gold by its self is not a very good conductor. Silver is the best conductor, Copper is approximately 5.4% less conductive than Silver, then Gold clocks in at a whopping 28.31% less conductive than Silver. Report

But one isnt always looking for the best conductor... I love me my colored sound Report

May 15, 200620 yr comment_9028 Who is going to explain to me why silver cables have a habit of being 'bright'? Is that simply because the gauge is often too high to save money? The only silver Ide personally ever use is 18-20awg... the rest just sounds to bright and thin as you have said. Report
