Silver cables are famous for detail — and infamous for sounding bright, lean, and fatiguing. That was my experience too. Many manufacturers go thin on silver (because it’s expensive), and the result is often bodyless sound.
But not all silver is the same. Diameter, purity, and alloying matter. Even at the connector level, WBT silver outperforms copper: more detail, wider stage, and fuller bass.
The breakthrough is Mundorf’s silver-gold alloy. Adding just 1% gold changes everything:
- Smooth highs without harshness
- Richer, natural mids
- 3D holography and wide soundstage
- Deep, fast, controlled bass
- Effortless musical flow
In Mundorf’s silver-gold alloy, gold makes up just 1% of the weight — but at 90× the value of silver, it nearly doubles the cost of the wire. The payoff is priceless: silver’s brilliance transformed into true musicality.
Vermillion isn’t another cable. It’s proof that high-end can be honest, natural, and complete.
