Worked for me. Using silver in the whole path was too much. I lost midrange palpability. I now only use silver from the DAC to the preamp. Everything else is copper, including my phono interconnects.

Silver to Preamp & Copper to Amp?
I've heard this described as a logical setup. Something about preserving the details from the source, and then being more controlled and true to the base as you feed the power amp.
I'm looking to run AQ Diamond X3 (balanced) from DAC to my BAT preamp, and then AQ Anaconda to my Krell amp. However, my cable lengths would make it much easier to do the copper Anaconda to the pre and the silver DiamondX3 to the amp. As I prepare, any thoughts on whether I'm OK either way?
Thx,
John B

I use only copper throughout. A lift in the top end will continue through the rest of the system, no matter where you perpetrate it, unless something else is rolling it off. My cables(Sonoran Plateau) use all copper, and even use copper based solder, in order to maintain the sonic integrity of alike materials. Good quality copper cables with correct geometry, and good resonance control is where it is at. |
You might want to consider the Sonic Precision cables (rhodium-copper alloy). The have NO silver edge but are much more detailed than copper cables. http://www.sonicprecision.com/sonicprecision/sphome.htm |
