One of my systems is totally silver wired, ICs, speaker wires, internal
wires in the speakers, major signal
wires in the amp and preamp. One copper
IC audibly reduces the extension in both
bass and treble and dirties the midrange. I realize this is an extreme
case, but i had to do it to prove to
myself and others that it makes a difference. Copper (even OFC) ICs
hide a lot of detail that is apparent
even if you just replace the one IC between your CD, DVD, or HIFI VCR. I've
heard the 6% advantage, but i personally
think that is a who cares. The metal
just lets more of whatever (sound, signal, music, etc) come thru. YMMV :-)
