A general standpoint: the higher the purity of silver the better the sound.
A 3N cable does contain at least 99.9% silver, 4N 99.99% 5N 99.999% and 6N 99.9999%
There are sites claiming that 6N is best. However, when I look deeper in this material: I don’t see anyone offering that kind of purity, neither cable makers nor blacksmiths, and moreover: in my point of view: a certificate of analysis that quarentees the purity must be delivered with it. I only see that 5N at certain blacksmiths with COA is max.
Moreover: what I am wondering: the wire is not the only part of an audio cable (if it is shielded properly) , the signal needs to go through a connector and the solder that is used. Is a 5N cable really needed for best sound quality if the wire is not the weakest point?
