RE: Gold toxic to silver?

What I took away from the blog post is this question - what relevant property, other than conductivity does the conductor in a cable possess? And how does conductivity manifest itself on the application side as anything more than simple resistance? It goes against the core purpose of a wire to alloy a pure metal.

We can all enjoy cables of all shapes and sizes, but using a super thin speaker cable that has a gold surprise inside is going to throw off the gauge/impedance/length calculators that people use to ensure their speakers are performing adequately.
