I have a BDA 3.14 and a BCD-3 on order and am in the market for XLR cables. I keep reading conflicting information on the internet about silver-coated copper cables with silver-plated connectors. Some say the connectors tarnish, which hurts sound quality, others say tarnished silver is still a better conductor than untarnished copper so it doesn't matter. Some say you shouldn't mix metals: if you have gold-plated inputs on your equipment, like Bryston has, you shouldn't use silver-plated connectors.
At the risk of unleashing the great cable debate, I wondering if any of you can share your experience with silver cables and Bryston equipment. I know some say they are a little bright. It seems to me the top-of-the-line cables are often silver, but at the same time, they don't appear to be the best choice.
Thanks.
