RE: Gold toxic to silver?

Silver and Gold are friendly oxidizing metals and perhaps as a SilverGold alloy remain quite linear, maybe... or the skin effect is quite good, maybe... or the dielectric effect is less, maybe... or perhaps Gold is toxic to Silver but peoples ears seem to like the the combination, maybe :) Definitely costs more and how does SilverGold sound. Best you buy some and tell us about it! If you can't afford the asking price then don't worry about it, hopefully someone else will and tell us all about :)

It is a bit like the resistor debate... carbon, tantalum, metal oxide, metal foil, bulk metal foil, nude, wire wound... which one to use and when!
