RE: Copper vs. Silver

Hi, Gordon!

A company in California named "Audience" has
lately supplied me with wires that reproduce music
where it really does sound most like the real thing.

I like this, so sprang also for their power conditioners
to see if their simple, honest approach would be
getting more better results yet.

While I haven't used all of the units and methods
out there, but have played with most kinds of metals
and dielectrics for a lot of different reasons, there
is usually a marked difference between silver and copper
performance under a given operating condition,
physical size or architecture.

Audience believes that the simpler, the better. Their
stuff "isn't cheap". But neither is their performance!

I use all kinds of things- always listening and
considering the effects of nearby objects and
electromagnetic or electrostatic fields.

Lately I went back to my favorite item from the old times--
using brass standoffs on every source component, and learning
when to couple energy and when to de-couple it!

Does Copper or Silver offer an advantage over the
other? Only the user can answer that. Each has characteristics
that offer a difference-- now, what was that difference under
what conditions?

Under some conditions transformer winding
methods cannot be the same for each metal-- one cannot
compare the two metals that way-- instead, compare each
operating under the condition that IT finds ideal for itself....

When --everything-- is made ideal for either metal, that
is when you will no longer be able to tolerate Copper.
