So no one else can make a gold-silver conductor? Only Siltech?

Actually, the reason for starting this thread was to suggest if not another manufacturer could experiment with such a conductor and come out with a cheaper gold-silver line?
I am sure that Siltech has its good reasons for using gold-silver in its cables, so my BIG question:

Why has nobody else tried to develop such a conductor, if the sound of Siltech is so gorgeous?
As I said in my earlier post, it cannot be the price of gold. $12 per gram is not so bad.
I read that Silversmith will come out with a Palladium conductor, which is nothing more what some people have in their teeth fillings or crowns: Platinum, gold and I guess mercury (some people will know better) So I hope that more manufacturers will start to experiment with gold in their conductors, when Siltech has such a good sounding cable. I know it takes more than just mixing gold and silver, or maybe not?
We will never know, as long as nobody but Siltech is doing this.
If I had the time and knowledge I would start to experiment with gold-silver or platinum-palladium-silver alloys.
