Cardas Clear Light.
It is the same thickness as the PW Stormbreaker. And, it would seem, even the conductor is similar. However, there is a difference. Cardas is a little warmer and more emotional. Stormbreaker is more V-shaped and wider.
I have heard the EE odin and the stock cable, the Storm breaker is some how too aggressive in the upper frequency but lack of density and extension in the lower range.

In my impression, Cardas Clear Light does not have these problems. It is not darker, but it's just more organic in general and doesn't emphasize high frequencies, paying more attention to midrange.

greetings, can i ask if a silver cable shows oxidation, how would that affect the cable conductivity, as my silver cable is showing oxidation

Theoretically, the impact is bad. Because the oxide has a lower conductivity than pure metal. Practically - this is a very small part. So in practice it is hardly possible to hear the changes. In addition, silver cables often turn green. However, sometimes this is also the case for copper.

It is more expensive than Gold Plated cable, 300$ is hard to get a real

Has anyone tried these pure silver cables?
TItan Ag - Labkable
Dream Duet
Silver Dragon - Moon Audio
The first and second I did try.
I use Pure Silver by Moon Audio Silver Dragon v3.

And I used Labkable Samusai 3, Ag / Pt, it's good. However, it may be a little too soft at high frequencies. The sound is a bit analog.

Silver Dragon is a very good cable for its price. I made myself a "Double Dragon" - a double version of the cable. Moderately thick (I have thicker cables). Maybe the stock version can only be called a little rigid, but my version does not have this bad.
Little problem - this is not stock cable, you can't buy it from Moon Audio. So I buy 3 meter and made 1.5 m cable with double thickness.

In addition, pure silver usually gives an honest, smooth and transparent sound. Although in practice you need to see what kind of cable is meant. Some additive to silver (gold, platinum, palladium) usually shifts the sound to a slightly more analog and warm sound.
Which one gives the best improvement in terms of clarity?
If you need something honest and transparent, I would choose Silver Dragon. This is exactly what I liked, for example, with my EE Wraith.

Updated:
I was wrong, Titan Ag and Crystal Cable Dream Duet are still pure silver. Both companies' love of experimenting with materials misled me.

THank you for your reply on the cables above.

Isn't the Wraith already very high sounding? Pairing it with silver dragon not overkill?
