RCA cables silver,gold or copper whats better?

My preference is silver plated copper (because that is what I currently am using). I will admit though the different manufacturers do not always have the same sound characteristics with a given type of wire. In other words I have heard both great and bad copper and silver but not really gold. To me personally gold is a little too warm sounding in cables for me. Maybe because I have a tube integrated.

Just my opinion

For me it seems to depend. I find silver to be more detailed and copper to have more body and bass. I mix and match per component.

Pure silver cables all the way. They do sound better than copper, imo...at least on my system (Siltech Cables). Look at cabling as a vehicle to modify the tonal characteristics of your system. Some systems may fair better with cooper, other's with silver or a combo of both....only you can decide.

I have had good success using both silver and copper. It does pay, however, to carefully evaluate products from various manufacturers to see what works best in a given system. The cables to steer clear of is from DakiOm. The guy that sells these things is basically a 'raving lunatic'. It's not hard to see that from reading his rather lengthy ads. What he has to offer are products that add an artificial warmth into a system at the expense of everything else that audio enthusiasts value.

Thanks for the tip.Unfortunately a raving lunatic will feel right at home here in the audio world.As you know there are more than a couple[see threads].Cheers,B
