Siltech Cables

Hello,

I usually use Kontak contact cleaner.
After having tried many more it is the better to me.
Regards.

Gentlemen, I was wondering if any have heard the Siltech 35th Anniversary cables? I believe they are of solid silver construction and a departure from the gold silver alloys typically used by Siltech at this price point.

How do they compete with other Siltech lines and other cables at their price point?
 
The Classic Anniversary Network cable uses G9 silver-gold. I wonder what this new metallurgy is.
 
Hi Stereophonic,
I have a DC 1.5m with upgraded Furutech connectors which are used with TC. I use it with TAD M2500.
Which component is powered with TC and was it a huge upgrade?
Thanks.

Wondering if anyone here has experience with Siltech's line of cables? As I have been reading up on various cable manufacturers (Transparent, MIT, Cardas, Nordost, etc) the brand that has probably interested me the most so far has been Siltech. Their focus seems to be on very advanced metallurgy which they believe is the main determinant of sound quality in a cable opposed to geometries, special treatments and otherwise. They make their own proprietary alloys which are basically high purity silver where they use small deposits of gold to fill up small crystalline gaps that exist between the molecules which they claim is where a lot of the distortion in cables originates. Apparently on a microscopic level these gaps are quite large in size and can have an effect on conductivity and the flow of current.

"Siltech adds gold to address what it believes is a deficiency in the structure of pure-silver (and pure-copper) conductors: the crystal structure that makes up such conductors produces small distortions when current flows through, and this makes for compromised signal transmission. Siltech adds 24K gold to high-purity silver to "fill" the gaps between crystals and thereby improve "micro-conductivity."

I am not aware of any other manufacturers that take this approach. They have also been in the business for a long time so their advanced technologies and materials seem to have trickled down into their more obtainable product lines (their top model stuff is $$$$$$$$$$). Their cables are said to be very natural sounding- dead quiet, highly neutral and uber-resolving with zero harshness up top.

Any first hand experience from the forum would be appreciated!

Siltech coats (plates?) silver wire with gold to fill in "gaps" in the silver. Hemingway Audio, Fono Acustica, and Echole, all three of which sound much better to me than comparable Siltech models, have conductors that are alloys of silver and gold for Hemingway, silver, gold, and palladium for Echole and Fono Acustica. Hemingway Audio Z-Core cables are the best I've ever heard at any price. Note by the way that Siltech's latest top of the line cables no longer use the gold. Their ads say that they have found a way to eliminate the "gaps" in the silver.
 
Hi,

does anyone know if Siltech will release a new flagship series cables any time soon?
 
I ask to Siltech 'experts' an opinion.
I have speaker Rockport Atria 2 with Gryphon Pandora + Antileon Evo + Esoteric N01XD. I have all Siltech cables: Prince loudspeakers, 2 pairs Princess Interconnect, Ruby Mountain 2 for Esoteric. Then 2 x Ruby Hill 2 for Pandora and 2 x Ruby Hill 2 for Antileon Evo (unluckly preamp and poweramp Gryphon need 4 powercords...).
In your opinion, are Ruby Hill 2 good for poweramp Antileon?

Have any of you already been able to try the new Siltech 40th?
 
I just came across this great thread, about the best cable company in the world, period!

I have about 4 years experience with Siltech, with
The CLASSIC series
The Signature Royal series
crown & double crown levels.
(check my "Toggle signature")

After years of experience with Transparent Reference XL and OPUS at the highest levels

Stealth in the initial dream levels and XLRs metacarbon levels.

Echol at MID level and higher,

Any VDH that comes to mind,
and more...
