Re: The question requires context.

For use in speaker cables, line level interconnects and even phono interconnects, do you feel that silver's inductive properties would limit it's sonic performance verses copper.

Without adequate damping, I would assume it would be far less preferable than copper. All of the silver cables I have heard have been lacking in dynamic slam. Many have had a brightness or hardness, that I might think could be attributed to ringing. I noticed that the best cables by Virtual Dynamics are all copper, as are those of Transparent and others. The silver cables people say have great dynamics I find very lacking in this regard and would like to get some thoughts on any limitations in the material itself.

Cardas and XLO talk about silver's shortcomings. Their arguments seem very reasonable to me.
