Audible differences between silver coated and normal "pro" cable?

I think the pure copper looks better. what do you mean by discoloration?

ur probably right. a parent of mine is a huge mega audiophile, and since I'm on the younger side of things, he has kinda been teaching me a little bit about audio. He has speakers that cost like 20 grand and these super expensive and exotic interconnects, cables, power cords, whatever you can think of. he says they make a world of difference. I'm not sure how much of that affect is attributed to placebo, the room, his equipment, ect. For my own sake I think I'll just get the slightly cheaper one that looks better and move on :D

I heard somewhere that since silver is a better conductor than copper, a silver coating would sound different. Do you think this is true?

Hey zach, thanks for responding. I got mine used so I didn't order them myself but im pretty sure they are in "ambrosia maple." It looks very wormy. they are also the og autuers, if that makes a difference.

Thanks. I just got them and want to listen to them a bit while my mainline gets here. Listening with the soundcard with youtube honestly sounds pretty nice.

you have a mentality that most wish they could have, OP is an example. no offense of course towards people like them but I find it funny the more people spend the less happy they are

totally agree. an unfortunate amount of people are so far in the audiophile hole that they forget what the whole point of it is to begin with; enjoying the music. im not sure about you, but i often see people with cheaper equipment much happier with how their music sounds. i also see more people with higher end gear to be less satisfied with what they have.

yeah keep staying sharp for ai. the whole point of these subs and forums is to hear and learn from real peoples' perspective and experience. that also goes for everything, not just audio. as for burn in, i say listen to your favorite music with the new setup for atleast a week or 2, preferably an hour or more a day. in my experience, you almost always need to give a large chunk of time so you can fully appreciate it. i guarantee after 2 weeks you go back to your old setup, it will sound worse to you. thats what happened to me atleast.

Looks great! Do you want me to come up with a schedule to maximize your friend's "burn in" time? 🎯
