..find the Cu/Cu the best on my ModWright XA5400ES, BUT if you get the chance to try both, always give it a try, as your system may need the extra added HF the silver imparts. Too much for my ears, but again, YMMV and all that.
I figured the Ag on the IEC end (with Cu on the male plug end) would be just the ticket to superior HF and detail without loss of warmth, so I bought one from Percy and whipped up an AC cord, but I found the Ag on the IEC was just a bit over the threshold of 'rightness', and slightly tipped things toward bright, not 'real'. But you may need, or hear, different.
The Ag definitely will get you more detail and transparency, but as just said, maybe a wee bit too much. Reasonable minds and ears will differ here, and there are no absolutes. But both are VERY fine terminations, and both will give you what you seek. It is all about balance.
The gold were always a no-go with me, and I eschew gold wherever possible. But sometimes you can't, and so we try to make the best of a bad situation.
Good luck, and let us know what you try and what you hear, please.
Cheers,
WS
