Mixing silver IC with silver/copper speaker cable?

Looking for real world experience and good advise...

Do you lose the benefits of a good silver IC if you have silver & copper speaker cable? In my system, I could be running into this situation where between my cdp and preamp I have Pursang IC (silver), between my preamp and amp I have Poiema IC (silver) and from my amp to speakers I have VooDoo Reference (silver & copper). Is this preventing me from realizing the maximum potential of using proven silver IC's because of my silver & copper speaker cable? Would there be a significant gain in going to a all silver speaker cable?

My main concern is that my system can tend to be bright because I'm using Klipsch Legend series speaker that have horns.

Thanks,
Mike

I too run a combination of both, in my case copper IC and silver speaker. It's a great combination IMO.

I do NOT believe in the theory that your system is only as good or as resolving as its weakest link. I believe that EVERY piece in your and my audio system decreases resolution and adds junk, we hope in very small amounts per piece. But that doesn't mean that improving one piece of the system can't improve the system's resolution and overall quality. Select and buy the best and most-NEUTRAL pieces you can afford for EACH position, and soon you'll have a GREAT-sounding system.
