Good cheap silver wire?

The last time I referred to a conductivity chart, I remember copper having higher conductance than silver (this is measured in mhos, the inverse of resistance, which is ohms.) Why not save your $$$ and buy more CD's, which will certainly bring you more listening pleasure than silver cables.

If you do not mind building your own do as I did (both 24ga and 30ga), as suggested by Greg Weaver at SoundStage.com: Get 99.99% pure silver wire from Myron Toback, Inc. in NYC (212/398-8300). This wire was un-insulated. Get a spool of PTFE (high grade Teflon) tubing from Allied Electronics (800/433-5700). (This tubing should be of a larger gauge, smaller number, than the wire.) After cutting your wires and tubing clean your wires with Caig ProGold (to de-oxidize, seal, improve conductivity, & lubricate for insertion into tubing). Then carefully insert the wire into the tubing.

Buy your cables from Nemo (Sergui) at interlinkhouse.com. I have been quite impressed. Sometimes he will run auctions on ebay or audiogon. Search these site for either "interconnect" or STEALTH ( his brand name for his cables). The higher priced ones are REALLY worth the difference. Pretty cool guy to talk to about stereo stuff also. He has some good theories of his own that make great sense in you understand the physics behind the whole hifi scene! Later!

I have built these (http://www.warrengregoire.com/hifi-stereo-silvercables.htm)speaker cables a month ago. They work well but are still burning in. I bought the 6 foot cables. I also bought my digital interconnect from Interlinkhouse and like it very much.

Dear Mifi3491, Try a pair of Sergui's cross-wrapped silver wires. Not the most economical of his line, but the sound is incredible! My girlfriend even agreed that they are worth the money ( now a compliment like that from a woman who freaks out about some of my stereo purchases is a hell of a complement!) The coolest thing about Sergui, besides his prices, is that he will make whatever you want! Currently he is getting me the hospital grade sockects and silver plated OFC wire for my four new dedicated power lines for my listening room. I have posted the specs for the whole set-up under the chat topic regarding "best power conditioners" here on audiogon.######## I have contacted the references for silver wire mentioned above. Myron Toback ( a nice guy on the phone) is actually a seller of jewelery findings. Findings, for those not in the jewelery business, are products used in the manufacter of jewelery. His wire is only 99.99% (sterling). Also it is only available down to 30 gauge. I have really become a believer in the "skin effect". Sergui's wires are a good bit smaller and they really do ( in my opinion enhance) coherency. I wasn't really sure that the skin effect was real, but when you think about it, electrons do have mass and would be subject to rheologic charactoristics similar to that seen in fluid dynamics. Besides this the wire Myron provides is only 99.99%. Sure the would be cheap to construct as stated above, but by the time you add in the RCA plugs ( WBT on like since soldering this wire to even gold plated Radio Shack RCA's would probably defeat any possible benefit seen). Just having cheap silver wires, doesn't necessarily mean they are good! Get it :)!
