which did u prefer?

when u say ss u mean silver streak right?


im worried the silver streak may sound thin or its bright highs may hurt ears

The silver plating wouldn't change the wire's resistance to any degree. Resistance would change by a far greater degree just due to manufacturing tolerances.

in short no ! no real difference found between silver, spc and copper

How about cheap silver plated copper?

Ben from the Polk forums used to make them. He has since stopped making them due to health issues. Back in 2007, I was able to get 2 two footers from him for $45 shipped for being a fellow Polkie. As soon as they came in, I did an A/B test back to back with my Monoprice Premium RCAs. The difference in sound was tremendous. The Silver ICs had a much wider soundstage, more detail, and better highs. Bass was faster and less muddy. I wasn't a believer until I heard silver for myself. Since then, I've ordered two sets from him for a friend and he quickly agreed with me and became a believer as well.
