Silver vs Copper cables

It seems to reason if silver conducts an electrical signal better, the end result will be better sound. How about driving your car down a bumpy road versus a smooth highway at 60 mph, which would be the better ride? Unless you're churning butter for Lkdog.

Timrhu, actually the point is, is that some of us PREFER the bumpy road. :)

My 99 M3 has an aftermarket performance suspension that makes the ride in my car...well, bumpier. I prefer a firm ride to a soft pillow-like ride. I drive fast, and like the feel of a planted car with snappy turn-in. Sure, as with silver vs. copper, there are trade-offs for each, as there is in choosing to live with a car like mine. Those LA potholes suck.

Silver cabling may actually pass a "truer" signal, but I've picked my components and combined them in a way to create an illusion I like. I'm not too concerned with accurately reproducing the live concert I just attended or what the artist intended to portray. The absolute sound is not a single standard for the masses, it has to do with our own personal taste which becomes our own goal.

In some cases I've preferred silver over copper, and in others the opposite.

Kate Beckingsale.

Eva Longoria.

Naomi Watts.

Halle Berry.

Which would you choose? Each of us could make a case for which one is better, but all that matters is which one we prefer.

Audio equipment, cars, food, a favorite color. BETTER can mean different things to different people.

Grant, it also depends on which Halle Berry and Kate Beckingsale movies we're talking about, heheh.

Thanks for your input guys. I guess I screwed up though. I own a Levinson 380 preamp and a Levinson 431 amp driving my Sophias. I bought silver made Nordost Frey ic's and speaker cables. The sound is somewhat bright but I thought it was my cdp. I am going to audition some Cardas GR cables which are made of copper. Are there any other cables someone can recommend I try? Thanks.
