I had the opportunity to try this speaker cable (pure silver wire) in my system once I installed the EAR 861 amp - I had a Siltech SG LS-180 G3 silver/gold strand for quite a long time.
The test consisted in installing the Kondo cable and listen for a few days, and then turning back to the Siltech cable for two days and record any differences, here is a partial copy of my notes:
Kondo - (rounded sound, defined bass, slightly reduced scenario, warm, great top end)
Siltech - (explosive, trashes the bass, saturation in mid-highs, excellent detail)
As we all know, there is no binary decisions in audio, one must balance benefits and trade-offs all the time . and at least for my system, with the music I like and within my budget, the Kondo was a clear winner over the Siltech - I kept it!.
