I love silver too but my tastes have changed to the point where I prefer a warmer more organic sound, something that I don't often get from pure silver.

I agree that SPC is probably the best bang for buck and makes some very nice cables, and I too prefer OFHC over SPC. But I do admit that I just love how analytical pure silver can be

With all these flat braids coming up, I decided to try one of my own. Only main difference is most likely nobody has one like mine

This is 26AWG GOLD plated copper that I was able to snag during a rare posting on eBay.

Nice cable there Fallen, I really like the color scheme. I guess "tape-style" cables are the new in thing.

Is that an Ikea table fallen?

Thats a really cool braid BTW.

fallenangel that cable looks excellent. And gold plated sounds cool

Thanks guys, it's fun and a serious pain in the butt braiding that design compared to others.

Yes, that's an IKEA table, and I like it

Gold plated copper cable sounds pretty funky, very warm and totally killer bass. Detail is definitely there, but not as pronounced and as for neutrality, forget about it. Who needs neutral components anyway, I only want what I like the sound of, not how "real" it is
