He goes on to say ....
Well I read everywhere that Silver cable sounds bright, I think I have worked out why. The cost of Silver (Ag) is much higher than Copper (Cu) and this would effect the amount that is used, ok its resistance is lower but that's not the reason.
Using a thinner conductor will reduce the amount of current that can flow, and with the smaller diameter the effects of - lets say - Skin Effect will be pronounced and the cable will sound bright, thin and not nice.
Now with reduced current - and with loses in crossovers - the bass will be .....
