10.What are the differences between the different generations in metallurgy?Distortion of the audio signal is in essence the most relevant difference between the different generations of Siltech metallurgy. The first generation (G1) cables were made of pure silver. The second generation (G2) was still pure silver but with a crystal length of 150 micrometer. Because of this there were less crystal boundary distortions and the cables became more 'quiet'. The third generation (G3) was the first generation with silver-gold conductors instead of pure silver. This was a dramatic improvement over the former pure silver designs. G3 cables had a crystal boundary error percentage of 20%. Because the 'empty' spaces between the crystal groups were 'filled' (24K gold) the distortion went down. Later the improved G3 crystal boundary errors were no more than 10% so the distortion level dropped again. With the fifth generation (G5) we made a huge step forward. Now crystal boundary errors were no more than 1%. This was brought even further down with the sixth generation of Siltech metallurgy (G6): crystal boundary errors are less than 0,1%. So, though G6 has by far the lowest distortions, even the G3 still outperforms the competition in measured distortion.
