I have not tried the Eichmann, but I will do so in the near future.  It seems stupid to me that they do not make a Ag socket.  No surprise, my experiments suggest that the Ag connectors "improve" the "silver qualities" of the Ag wire, versus the "sputtered" Au-over-Cu connectors with Ag wire.


Paul, have you had any experience with Audio Note silver plated RCA's?

It's Ag-over-something, not pure Ag, which I understand would be too soft and brittle (this is what they say).

There is also a CMC Ag-over-Cu:

which hificollective claims to be "the best trabant money can buy"...

Cheers,
