Interesting findings. I once owned Siltech G3 interconnects and speaker cables. Imo, the gold/silver alloy adds a little more weight and body at the expense of absolute definition. I replaced my G3s with the Pure Note Paragons which were a better match for my system. I took the savings and upgraded my speakers. Pure Note cables do offer a lot for the money and they are well made.
