silver with tubes and copper with solid state ??

i am not one to generalize. however, a recent experience with a solid state amp has led to the hypothesis that copper cable may be a better match for solid state than silver cable, while some silver or silver-plated cable may be preferable to copper cable when using tube amplifiers.

the basis for this hypothesis is the possible emphasis in the treble from silver cable and solid state amps. thus, one peak + another peak=trouble.

what are your experiences in this regard ?

It all comes down to synergy.

I have one SS rig that uses Goertz AG2(silver) and is far from bright due to all warm components. Meanwhile, in my tube rig, I use copper cables due to a bright source.

As mentioned before, it all comes down to what sounds the best to you.
