If I want to make the mids richer, is silver better than copper in this regard? I do want details though but my priority is to bring up the mids then the details

I was told black widow preserves the sound signature of the lcd 2.2 but enhances and improves every aspect of it. The silver widow changes how it sounds. One may or may not like it. I was told by someone who owned both black and silver widow.

The black widow is also cheaper so maybe a good entry point

I have ordered Virus for my Oppo PM-1and balance AK240, PM-1 is going very well with AK240. However I need Virus  to smooth out PM-1 treble rough edge but to keep sweet mid range and to extend hi and bass like Silver Widow did to my FitEar 335. =)

You may want to consider the White Widow. It's Silver Plated Copper.
I have it for my HD650, and it's amazing. I would imagine it will be amazing with the LCD too.

Pretty much any cable. For more detail and overal transparency, get silver or silver hybrid cables. But also copper, i.e. Black Widow, Venom etc. have a similar effect with slightly more impact on bass and mids. So either way is right for you, as all of them are superior to the stock cable.


+1.

I actually like what the BW does to my LCD 2. Clarifies the midst while not degrading the organic sig of the LCD 2

So Black Widow would be better than a silver for a LCD2? I do want a larger soundstage out of my LCD2 


I think so. It does create a slightly better soundstage. But do remember: the LCD 2 is not known for its soundstage. :)

Copper Venom has very smooth midrange, transients and high frequencies. It tends to add a little warmth to the midrange and mor weight to the bass. Overall, this cable has a rich, highly musical sound if not the last word in transparency. This is the perfect cable for the HD800

Silver Poison/Widow are very transparent with very quick transients and extended high frequencies. You get tighter bass, lots of inner details and extended soundstage. These cables are what you need for the LCD2 or 3.

Cheers!

I dont know if i should get the black widow or the silver widow? They seem to improve the lcd2 respectively. I did have a silver poison before it ripped and it costs quite a bit for a repair so i figured, why not get an upgrade. So which would you guys go for? And why doesnt frank reply to emails?
