You're using silly 'objective' standards here... true audiophiles know
that science can't measure what we hear. It may measure like copper but if it *sounds* like silver, that's what matters. You can't prove it doesn't! But I can prove that the cable is actually copper not the advertised silver. I hope you are posting in jest. |

Since you said your cables are several years old, is it not possible that the manufacturer has changed the technology used in the cable and is currently actually using silver? Would it not make sense to find out before slandering them on usenet? |

Would it not make sense to find out before slandering them on usenet? The cable was described as solid silver when I purchased one, the actual item was copper. If they have changed their technology then it is only to meet the claims they have always made. Really how can they advertise solid silver and then sell copper? It is no accident to strip a coax cable and solder copper flex cord onto the copper core of the coax that you just stripped and not notice that the cable is copper. |

I am sorry, I thought you were responding to another post that mentioned the silver claim, and said you owned the cables, having bought them several years ago. It was not clear that they were making the "silver" claim at the time you bought them. I agree that if they are claiming one construction and giving you another, they are fraudulent. |
