Silver plating works at radio frequencies but not audio frequencies, well maybe ultra high frequencies. The plating is not nearly thick enough to handle all frequencies in a linear fashion. When the much thicker copper and ultra-thin silver combine, it can create two different, frequency dependent, conductive pathways creating a sort of ultra sonic ringing or edginess. Use all copper or all silver. Some may hear it, some may not.
From a cynic's standpoint, some cable manufacturers cash in by advertising their product as silver cables when it's only silver plated. This stuff is not expensive, but has a big mark-up, knowing that audiophiles will buy it.
