RE: Silver Cartridge Coils

I question your question. What do you mean by "better"? If you refer to conductivity, then yes silver is slightly more conductive. If you refer to sound quality, then there are many different opinions on that subject. For example, the ZYX UNIverse cartridges are available with either copper or silver coils, and the overwhelming majority of reviewers and private users seem to agree that the copper-coiled version is to be preferred for sonics. Then too, we have the van den Hul line of cartridges which seem to be available with several different variants of coil wire (copper and gold, anyway; I am not certain about silver). This suggests that the differences are qualitative and one's preference is subjective.
