Either. Was just checking if you generalised silver stuff
IMO it is like anything else, it comes down to the execution of the 'technology'. I have heard silver cables that are bright sounding. Some where it is like someone shined a flashlight on the upper midrange. But there are some cables with silver wire that I would never have guessed they used silver -- Argento is an example.
I have to say a combination with both silver AND copper cables is due to my phono set up.
Silver for the tonearm cables/phono cables and copper for the balanced cable going from the phonostage to the main preamp. I have tested different combinations in the past, but this seems to be my final choice.

Agree...first experience with silver was someone's DIY. I did not know anything about the 'stereotypes' of metals in cables...but it was screechy and thin. Then I read about the stereotypes...but find myself absolutely enthused with the work of Z:Axis Audio whose cables are pure silver.
I think you mean that they reveal the harshness of SS gear.No, and some sound different, i have just never encountered one i liked the sound of. They often go well hand in hand with the muffled sound of tubes.
If you ever feel like DIY cable, I highly recommend this. Smooth, detailed sound, love it.

I thought we all agreed to take the other side of the argument this year? You know, mix it up a little.

Maybe I’m confusing what you said about Cardas cables with what you said about Benz or Grado cartridges, but I distinctly remember you describing some brand as having a very specific characteristic that you wanted in your system, and I think it was warmth. I have the same impression from my memory of how you used to describe analog versus digital or was it tubes versus solid state? Perhaps you have changed your thinking or I am mistaken.
EDIT: I found the reference. You wrote this in your Grado Epoch cartridge review:
“I describe the tonal balance of the Colibri as neutral. Neutral is not the slightly warm tonal balance I subjectively prefer.”

Overpriced nonsense imo .
If you really want to change your system you need to change amps / speakers / sources .
But looking at SBNX system i do think he knows what he is doing
