win: ""
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.""Any cylindrical wire made of a metal, will have a self inductance of 15 nanohenries per foot. This is regardless of the metal type, the temperature, the current level, the resistance, anything. Copper and silver are not different in this regard. Silver and copper both share the same relative permeability, that be 1, so their self inductance will be consistent across the audio band.
The external inductance of any wire pair, is dependent on the trapped flux within the loop. In no way will the selection of the metal affect Faraday's law of induction.
The primary difference will be resistance.
How that affects the system is an entirely different animal.
Ringing has nothing to do with it. Silver does not have a "ringiness" attribute.
win: ""
Cardas and XLO talk about silver's shortcomings. Their arguments seem very reasonable to me. ""
If they are speaking of things other than pure resistance or solderability, the chances they speak accurately is quite low..this is unfortunately, quite consistent among quite a few vendors.Cheers, John
