If one set of cables is copper, one set is silver, anyone can tell. It is not rocket science. They are that different.

Silver is a precious metal so it will be a very expensive experiment if you want to buy them to try them out. Ask them to let you hear the difference. Most likely they will be glad to if they are not busy. One of my first jobs was at a Cal Stereo about 30 years ago. Audio has always been in my life. Head-fi in the last few years. This is just a fun hobby for me, can't take it too serious. My wife would find me another hobby. |

Try to listen to some Nordost, Oyaide, Furutech, Synergistic Research, And maybe some Kimber Kable stuff. BJC and Tartans is what it is. Best for the buck stuff. I should now, they are a few minutes from my house and have been to the shop many times. There are alot of awesome cables out there. It is fun to go out to audition them. I am shopping for a new cd player for the meet coming up in Seattle so I have been auditioning a lot of gear lately. Going to a high end shop this evening so I will be listening to the MIT Oracles. They retail around 30K a pair. |

Given that the price differential between my faithful stock cable and the most expensive one I tested ($139) was a factor 180x and that this 180x multiplier did not in fact concord with any notable difference in FR you will forgive for being skeptical that addin another $100 or $200 or weven $1000 to the mix would make any difference |
