Silver vs cryogenic treated copper


Does any one know which material (silver or cryogenic treated copper) is "better" for speaker cables and interconnects?

Don't have a lot of experience with silver wire, but every piece of cable that I've had cryoed has resulted in improved sound quality.

The description of dry, lifeless and less micro details would, in fact, be exactly the opposite of what I've heard.

Cryoed wire does need extensive break-in (or re-break-in in the case of even well used cables) to the tune of 2 weeks to a month under normal load. A cable burning device is a real positive post cryo to avoid some of the pain.
