That's the sort of thing that well-informed people believe.

NOT my belief so I will give you my opinion.


Well, here's a problem. If you evaluate speaker cables like most audiophiles
do, the results of your test will probably be very similar to what you
believed before the evaluation. That's because most audiophile evaluations
lack bias controls.

Having used a lot of cables over the years, I have found that
most silver coated type cables can have a brighter more
forward sound which suits some tastes but not all.


There's absolutly no science whatsoever to supprt that opinion.

The all copper types tend to be more neutral.I know that I
will now get a plethora of posts telling me how wrong MY
OPINION is but there you go.


Opinons can't be wrong if they are honestly expressed, but you may want to
check out what they are relevant to.

How about some posts asking if you have done any
measurements or testing?


I have.

How about a short recording via
a sound-card of the signal at the speaker terminals
using two cables that you can tell apart so we can share
the effect?


A study in futility.

How about taking Pinkerton's money?


Show me a Pinkerton to take money from.
