Element Copper-Tungsten-Silver Interconnects - XLR with UEF Tuning Circuits
Element Copper Tungsten Silver combines the best traits of each element for the most balanced and highest resolution interconnect in the Element Series. Imagine the low frequency authority of copper, the holographic soundstaging of Tungsten and the refinement and resolution of silver combined in one cable. This is by far the highest performance interconnect we have ever manufactured excluding the Galileo System interconnects which are nearly 10 times the Element CTS’s price and arguably this is the highest performance interconnect option your can choose from any manufacturer at any price including flagship products from our competitors. Add a Galileo Universal Interconnect Cell and you truly have a state-of-the-art interconnect that comes very close to our flagship Galileo System cables.
Combines the best traits of Copper and Tungsten and Silver
Silver delivers the highest level of frequency information
The most balanced of all Element Series cables
 
Listening notes and findings for Element Silver:
“Silver has a deep soundstage in a well rounded polite and non offensive presentation. Absolutely no glare or grain in the upper registers. Balance is the word that comes to mind”
 
Of course silver is only one of three elements found in Element Copper / Tungsten / Silver. 
 
UEF Tuning Circuits
As with all Element Series cables start with Grey UEF Tuning Circuit first and allow the cable to settle in for at least 48 hours before experimenting with Silver tuning option. If after 48 hours you wish to open up the sound field and upper registers substitute Silver bullets.
