Audio Note copper vs silver cables: opinions?


I'm looking for opinions on and impressions of Audio Note copper vs silver cables, the difference between their characteristics, and conclusions you may have come to on paying the premium for silver. Did you demo both and go one way or the other? I'm looking for input on both Audio Note interconnects and speaker cables. I have been able to demo the copper Lexus speaker cable and I'm impressed, but not being able to demo the silver cables I'm trying to capture the essence of the differences between them from other's comments. All input appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't tried the silver speaker cables, but I do use the AN-Vx and AN-V silver interconnects. They are smooth, refined, musical and nicely detailed, not edgy and bright like some silver cables are reputed to be. A definite improvement over the less expensive AN-C interconnects and many other copper interconnects.

My AN/J speakers were rewired with SP cable by the previous owner. I've been using AN-L copper speaker cables. I'd like to hear the difference between the AN silver speaker cables and their latest copper cables. I suspect the differences are similar to their interconnects.
