quick comparison of both materials - had to set some base factors constant to make it apples for apples:
same length - half meter
same impedance - 75 ohms end to end (not just cable, but RCA connectors as well)
same equipment - zero HDAM -> digital S/PDIF -> woo 3+ -> HD650
same tracks played
when I put the pure solid core silver interconnect (Homegrown Veritas) and played "Spanish Harlem", I was taken aback by the additional clarity and layering. Then played BB King's "You don't know me" and confirmed the same. However, I felt something was missing and could not quite pinpoint it.
So I went back to put my copper interconnect (Canare LV-77S). I played BB King again and immediately found what was missing - the BASS!
So here is question to all you UBER ODIOFILES:
it's been said that silver makes things brighter - is it because there is less lower octave harmonics feeding the tube amp resulting in less bass?
I want to know if the gain in clarity and layering is a result of this.
At this point, I kept the Canare because of its fuller sound
Please advise
