Garth In full agreement there, it's more about assumption or idea
of silver as a precious metal so it must be better, I think some of the silver tinned or silver coated copper is quite flawed as apparently there is no way to have a uniform deposition and the results are often audible.I have a friend who buys into a lot of the crap, he used Gold wire for wiring loudspeaker internals, costs a small fortune and Gold isn't even as good a conductor as Aluminum, and the small lengths used of wire as speaker internal wiring seems reletively meaningless
to me, much more about perception and assumption and psychoacoustics.Regards FredJ
