Why does a silver plated cable sound better?
Element Electrical resistivity (microohm-cm) Aluminum 2.655 Copper 1.678 Gold 2.24 Silver 1.586 Platinum 10.5
This clearly puts silver as the number one conductor. It's desireable in connectors because it does not combine well with other materials so remains relatively pure at the surface. It also has the capability to adhere to itself which makes for very reliable connections. Using silver-plated conductors means that more of your signal travels to your equipment, producing better / cleaner acoustics.

WOW!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! The Quad 405 cable you made for me is simply gorgeous! It is very well made. I am a VERY satisfied customer. The hum simply dissappeared, as if by magic. Since I am using the Quad with two horn subwoofers (crossed at 70HZ) the elimination of the hum has left just lush sounding, tight bass. Very real. I can only thank you for a great product. I will leave as good an ebay feedback as I can muster. Also, feel free to use me as reference with fellow audiophiles who like me are always in the hunt for reasonably priced improvements to their sound systems. Enrique (MN)
Good day. Just to say that i am happy with this purchase and with one cable from the dac to the amplifier the hum disappeared, when there was no signal coming in. So in the near future,when i need a cable i know which company to ask,although I live in the UK. Arthur (England).
The interconnects I just bought from you have broken in. I took about 48 hours. Out of the bag they sounded decent but not liquid or 3 dimensional. After the break in time they sound exceptional !!!! I have a very revealing system and can hear a much lower noise floor thanks to the grounding wires. The sound stage is DEEP and WIDE, WOW !!!! So, I'll need 2 more pairs! (B. Riendeau NY)
I have been trying various cables and these are the best of some very good ones. They are perfect mates for a TEAC PD H-600 CD player and are great interconnects to a couple of Rotel RB-1091 Class D amps. Thank you. Dave C. (BC Canada)

Just wanted to let you know I received the cables you made for me, and finally got to hooking them up. I was surprised how much of a difference they make, and I'm not someone with unrealistic expectations. It was not a subtle change at all! Terrific work. Sean (NY)
These are the best cables I have ever used in my QUAD Amplifier setup (I have tried many cables). What is the secret sauce? Kirk (NY)

I am amazed (I mean REALLY amazed) at the improvement in sound quality as a result of your $50 interconnect cables. I'm recommending you to all my audiophile friends. Great work! Thanks so much. HUGE improvement in sound. Ordering a 2nd pair. Simply amazing upgrade for $50! Mike (TX)
The cable arrived, nice work. Very smooth despite no break in time. Chris (CA)
The Cables are BEAUTIFUL! I'd like another pair. Carl (IL)
I Listened to the cables this weekend. I did notice how the music was really "opened" up. Also there was a bass response that was lacking before. The cables are crafted very carefully and seem to move current the same as my $200 pair of Heavenly Cables. Regards, Scott (MN)
I Judge it immediately kicked-up the performance of the whole system and was noticeable instantly through the speakers! Dr. G. Ferster (MN)
