Hi there Peter, the K501 cable is silver plated copper rather than pure silver, I'm not really than crazy about pure silver in headphone cables although I like it in ICs. The K501s have only had about 25 hours of burn in time since I recabled them, but I noticed a slight increase in bass performance, wheras all other frequencies sounded relatively similar. I was worried that the already somewhat bright nature of the K501s would be increased with the added silver content in the cable but luckily it was not an issue.
