Silver autoformers are available at Dave's site and implemented by the likes of Purity Audio. Has anyone assembled a Ag based Bent passive that they care to expound on ?

Hello!
As crazy as it sounds I have not heard the silvers here myself yet! Once and a while I make them up for OEM customers and to send back to Dave for his customers but since I don't want to solder and unsolder the pcb's to test them here so I have yet to play. Would not want anyone getting nice new modules that look used! I have recently sent out an AVC-1 with silver modules and some silver wire to a fellow and maybe he can reply when he gets it built - it has not even reached him yet so that will be a bit of time from now anyway.
The OEM's who have used them really liked them but they do come at a pretty steep premium cost wise - the silver magnet wire is silly expensive these days. Maybe I am a bit afraid to hear them for fear I really like them, report that to folks and as a result frustrate customers who are not able to swing the very high price!
Thansk!

They are the only upgrade on my list after hearing them...

Thanks John. You mention sending silver wire to boot, and so I wonder if there might be critical paths that would enhance output circuitry other than the former itself ? I have set of the earlier cans that you can play with, what do you say ? Silver, platinum, gold soldering technique would become critical but the salvage value goes up ! Could you get back regarding any of Dave's exploits ?
Thanks
