Basically I need dual 1/4 to stereo RCA for my Gilmore light to my 1212m
I am using hd650's. Both copper and Silver are available for the same price, so my question is as follows:

Which one is better for my set-up. I am assuming that both of these options are offered due to sonic characteristics of the material, please correct me if I am wrong.

Should I go with silver or copper, is there difference between the Two?

I'd personally go for silver.

So would I, the silver is supposed to bring out the treble which would help with the Senn veil.

Thanks guys, then the silver it is

There are alloys to split the difference...

 

[Paradigm]

Paradigm,

Have you tried asking Larry those same questions? He is a very helpful guy and will most likely answer them within hours (or even in the minutes).

Cheers!

 

[Paradigm]

I already have, but considering it's the weekend he probably wont respond till monday.

He probably means the blend would bring out the detail without reaching brightness.

Nods, similar to a Kimber Silver Streak with some runs being copper others silver.

I understand Larry's Black Max and Black Gold cables are silver / copper combos - and have a bit warmer sound, while retaining the detail of silver.

But... they're a lot more expensive!

And... I'm not sure the HD6XX's need any more warmth - they're a bit too warm as it is. They need clarity and detail - which silver provides.

Besides... his Black Silver cables are a bargain... and... I'd like to get a few more opinions of satisfied customers... before... I buy one!

As I understand it both the Zu and Silver Dragon are all silver cables and they, reportedly, make big improvements in the clarity and detail of the HD6XX's. So, why not the Black Silver Senn v2 of Headphile?

Let us all know, what you think, if you get it.

I had the SD cable with my HD-580 & HD-650, and I personally dislike that cable: sound- & build-wise. The sound has a V-like EQ effect on the Senns and the stiffness & microphonicness of the cable drove me nuts.

AKZip uses a OFC copper / silver alloy wire (75/25 iirc) which has speed and smoothness (without the shrill edge), as well as durability, which I preferred to the Moon Blue or Silver Dragon cables.

Ping Alex for more info...

go with the Blacksilver - that's what I use on the Darth Grados and they're brilliant. Literally
