RE: Gold toxic to silver?

Never seen a cable with a mix of pure gold strands and pure silver strands. All of these manufacturers - Siltech, Crystal, Mundorf - advertise a 1% gold 99% silver alloy, where the gold is "injected" in (obviously they are adding 1 gram of gold to every 99 grams of silver into a crucible, putting it into a furnace, then proceeding with casting and drawing). There are a few cables with pure gold wire and only gold (Pear Cable) but the silver/gold stuff is an alloy mixture.

Carbon cables baffle me. Sure, you can do it...but...why...
To be fair, I've never tried one.
