I won't go into all the steps I went into upgrading my system but I am a fan of silver now that the rest of my system is of sufficient resolution to easily see the effects. When it comes to cables, I first added one of the silver interconnects. My first impression was more high end energy being generated, first classified as being bright but easier on the ears. This high end energy seemed to manifest in the mid range and lows as greater detail. A specific sound in an orchestra I was familiar with became several distinct sounds. In terms of imaging, there was a greater clarity within the sound field itself.
The other thing I would emphasize is that this is a cumulative effect. Having copper in other cables does not make it as clear as I describe above. For me, from the digital side of my system, was when I added a Curious USB cable to connect to my DAC. At that point all my cables are silver based and my description above is very obvious. However there is one last thing that really becomes clear with all silver is that all the greater detail that passes through the silver eventually manifests as real high end air. I am hearing this on my CainTuck Lii 15's, a full range 15 inch driver. I have had systems with more extended highs, including electrostatics, and have never heard air like I am hearing now.
My unofficial guess, based on my hearing, is that silver allows more information to pass than copper. It is the cumulative effect of all silver cables that shows this effect it in it's true glory.
