Good cheap silver wire?

I needed to add this. I went to the site mentioned (www.warrengregorie.com). Those kits are roughly the same price as Sergui's stuff. Plus it sure sounds like a pain in the butt to thread 8-12 feet of wire through all those teflon connectors. What kind of terminations do they provide? Also did you use silver solder etc? Also what are you driving with them. Currently I run silver speaker wire only to the electrostats of my ML monoliths, but am using a Sergui design OFC cable for the bass boxes. I hope that I don't sound like an advertisment for his cables, I assure you that I have no financial interest in his company. I just have been quite impressed. Remeber cheap doesn't equal good. I would rather find a reasonably priced product that will do what I want as opposed to a cheap product, that would be silver, but does not deliver the benefits of silver. Enjoy! Later, Steve

Steve, I bought the 6 foot pair from warrengregorie.com and it went together very well. The wire only cost $229.00 for the pair and it is 99.999% pure not 99.99%. The wire was also not 30 awg each conductor. The wire came as one piece of 18 awg, one piece of 20 awg and 0ne piece of 22 awg. This totaled 15 awg. Interlinkhouse wanted $400.00 for the wire and I believe his was only 99.99% and 15 awg. I saved $150.00, but it took me 2 hours to assemble. I do not use any connectors for the end of the wires. I feel every connection added would degrade the sound of the wire. The wire asssembly was easy. I just cut the material fed the wire through the teflon, marked the strands and braided it togther. I have not heard other silver wire so I can not compare, but for 5N silver, design and price. You can't beat it. BTW, I use all Melos tube equipment and I listen to cd only. My speakers are North Creek Rythmn kits that are also a great value.

Thanks for the feedback. Take care! Steve

I have found four manufacturers of good cheap silver wire. First, silver is THE best conductor, followed closely by copper, and then a good dropoff to gold. One other reason silver will ALWAYS conduct better than copper is that silver oxide is a conductor, copper oxide is not. There is DH Labs, and PureSilverSound, both already mentioned here. PSS looks cool. There is also Red Rose Music, Mark Levinson's new company(believe it or not). Their silver interconnect is $50/foot + $50 for temination(could do it yourself to save more $$$ ?). And here is the best, these guys should be locked up - HomeGrown Audio(they have a website). They sell a copy of Kimber KCAG(using the same grade, 5-9's silver), only better because it's solid core instead of stranded. Also, they have a cheaper cable, their version of Kimber Silver Streak. Prices, are you sitting down? $70/meter, terminated for the better cable. The other is about half of that. You also can buy both of these cables as kits for about half of these prices. You have got to check out their website. I e-mailed the guy(regarding spealer wire), and got a very well thought out response. He explained the difference between his wire and Kimber, and that the speaker cable is about a month away. I can't wait to try. There are reviews on AudioReview.com
