Cables are like tone control IMO and although the goal is for as little sonic imprint as possible, that can NEVER be achieved. Too many factors. It's incredibly unlikely that Silver is used in every single part of your systems input to speaker chain. Copper will be there, as will gold, lead and whatever else. As you found out Jimbo, usually a mixture of different materials is the best possible outcome.

    I have copper in my tonearm, silver from arm to Phonostage, copper from phonostage to pre, copper from pre to power amps, copper from power amps to speakers.

    Well done, Brian, seems you're not quite as retired as you'd have us believe

    Put me down for a loan when you start selling them.
    I've been making my own cables since 1992 Oliver , not quite ready to stop yet

    No lack of tone now mate, I'm very happy with where the sound is at. Which bit of that monsterous thread do you want me to read

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Interestingly enough these plugs will be going on the end of a cable Brian has recommended.
    I am going to try the one he recommends and something a bit more expensive for the pre to power connection.

    Both the oxide and the sulphide are soft, so are easily 'cut through' by the wiping action of mating and de-mating the contacts.
