Post Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 Hi Guys, I want to end up in heaven , not hell , so please tell me which is better. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind, so as not to be narrow minded.
Post Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Posted May 11, 2006 Even Google Trends agrees with this poll so far! Well, I took out "the One" because it totally crushed the wires...
aerius Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Neither. I suggest a platinum-iridium alloy for all your wiring needs. It's ludicrously expensive so it must be good, plus I don't think anyone uses it for audio cables yet.

grawk Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 I still like the mercury cables the guy keeps selling on headfi...
Yikes Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 I picked Silver because it's the closest to what really is best. Silver-Gold not that I am biased in the least
Post Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Posted May 12, 2006 Personally I'm still down with Roller-Skate Powder made of Shakti Stone.
Salt Peanuts Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Mmmm, shiny silver wires.... I also rather liked the silver-gold cables I got to try out.
Grand Enigma Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 I still like the mercury cables the guy keeps selling on headfi... mmmmmm mercury. I really love gold alloy... too bad I am not able to get it anymore... aside from that silver alloy is also a great wire. So I guess I like all and none of the above. Pure gold is fun too... its quite different sounding. I have a mini cable I made out of it.
Yikes Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Gold by its self is not a very good conductor. Silver is the best conductor, Copper is approximately 5.4% less conductive than Silver, then Gold clocks in at a whopping 28.31% less conductive than Silver.

But one isnt always looking for the best conductor... I love me my colored sound
TheSloth Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Yup. But one isnt always looking for the best conductor... I love me my colored sound Who is going to explain to me why silver cables have a habit of being 'bright'? Is that simply because the gauge is often too high to save money?
Grand Enigma Posted May 15, 2006 Report Posted May 15, 2006 Who is going to explain to me why silver cables have a habit of being 'bright'? Is that simply because the gauge is often too high to save money? The only silver Ide personally ever use is 18-20awg... the rest just sounds to bright and thin as you have said.
