Hey again, I've been going through a bunch of old posts on this topic and have also read conflicting opinions on the Caig stuff. Comparatively, there seems to be more negative about Caig than there is about Quicksilver, especially the latest Quicksilver Gold (which I DON'T have). Caig Gold is said to impart its own characteristics as well, namely, cutting off the highs and diffusing the midrange (whatever that means).

Quicksilver Gold is said to be pretty much flawless, but I was wondering if you could share what exactly you thought wasn't so great about the Quicksilver you had. I suppose I can kind of imagine what it is but I haven't been able to do any comparisons with or without the stuff, given that my speaker cables are new constructions anyway. For me, certain high frequency notes/tones are quite pronounced and prominent against the rest of the soundstage. They're not fatiguing, but I'm just ever so slightly too aware of them. Perhaps its still a question of burn-in, as I've only had it, and the cables, in use for about 40 hours.

Also, about these R-C filters, searching the site using 'r-c' in the field brings up absolutely nothing. Strange (although 'zobel' brings up loads of stuff). Have you got maybe a link to something that you found useful?

Cheers
