I hae some silver plated cables which have less sheathing but a lot of metal so it's not being restricted on that.
When I look at other award winning cables, they tend to be very little metal but a huge sheath around it. One dealer told me that metal is the most expensive part so companies use less metal and more silicone and plastic to make their cables look big and fat and meaty but really they are not great at all. He told me to get ones with as much metal as possible (this was for my car and I'm using 4 gauge in my car)
So what's better??
Ive got a Yamaha As500 amp and using a rega dac with b&w 684 speakers
