What It Does in Your System

The Top Silver Cable From a Company That Models Wire for a Living

This is a matched 2-meter pair. It carries the signal from a source — a streamer, DAC, CD player, or phono stage — to your preamp, integrated amp, or receiver. Two meters covers most real layouts, including gear on separate shelves or across a rack.

Silver Apex is the most advanced design Analysis Plus makes. Stereophile named it a Recommended Component for 2024. The Michigan company started out testing and modeling cables for other manufacturers, then decided it could build better ones itself.

Three Hollow Ovals, One Inside the Next

Most cables use round wire. Analysis Plus found a problem with that: the signal bunches up in certain spots, and it bunches differently at different pitches. So they built a hollow oval shape instead, which spreads the current evenly.

Silver Apex takes that further than any of their other cables. It nests three hollow ovals, one inside the next, the way sections of a telescope fit together. The result is a double shield — protection most interconnects don't have. Analysis Plus says the noise floor drops so low you can hear your amplifier breathe.

Silver Over Copper, Which Fixes an Old Complaint

Silver has a reputation for a bright, edgy top end. Older silver cables earned it. Analysis Plus builds around the problem by using pure silver over a copper core. The copper gives the hollow shape the strength it needs to hold form. The silver sits on the outside, where high frequencies actually travel.

Reviewers describe the result as neither warm nor cold. It follows the recording rather than adding a character of its own. The treble is expressive and the bass has weight without losing control.

Is This Right for You?

A few things to check before you order:

• Your system can show you the difference. Silver Apex sits at the top of the Analysis Plus range. It rewards gear that can reveal what it's doing. If the cable isn't the weak link in your system, their other lines will serve you well for much less.
• Two meters covers most layouts. It's enough to reach across a rack or around a corner. Measure your real path with the plugs seated, including the drop behind each component.
• This is an analog line-level cable. It connects sources to amplification. It is not a phono cable for a turntable arm, a digital coax cable, or a subwoofer cable.

Setup & Installation

Connect one cable to your source component's left output and the matching input on your amplifier. Connect the second to the right channel. Match red to red and white to white so your channels don't end up swapped. Push the plugs straight on rather than twisting them.

This is a substantial cable for an interconnect, because of the nested three-conductor build. Give it gentle curves rather than tight bends where it leaves each component. Don't let the cable's weight hang on the plugs. Keep the run clear of AC power cords where you can, and cross them at right angles where you can't.

Features & Specifications

Nested Triple Hollow Oval Geometry
Three conductors sit one inside the next, in the most advanced version of the patented Analysis Plus design.

Double-Shielded Construction
Two layers of shielding give this cable a far lower noise floor than most interconnects.

Pure Silver Over Oxygen-Free Copper
Silver sits where high frequencies travel, on a copper core that holds the hollow shape in place.

Stereophile Recommended Component
Named a Recommended Component for 2024 by Stereophile magazine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a pair or a single cable?
This is a matched pair. You get two 2-meter cables, left and right. That's everything you need for one stereo connection.

Will a silver cable sound bright?
That worry comes from older silver cables that put fine detail on a knife's edge. This one uses silver over a copper core, in a shape built to keep resistance steady across all pitches. That's what stops the rising top end that causes brightness. With our 60-day guarantee you can hear it in your own room and decide.

How does the interconnect differ from the Silver Apex speaker cable?
Both use the same nested hollow oval design and the same silver-over-copper wire. The speaker cable uses three 9-gauge conductors sized for the much higher current a speaker draws. The interconnect carries a small signal instead, so it's built lighter. They're designed to work together.
