You can conclude from what I said above that silver does not necessarily sound better or different from some other material "all else being equal". This I also pointed out.HOW a given conductor material is applied DOES make a difference, especially in a tonearm. Is it too stiff, is is shielded or not, how is the shield grunded, is the shield and/or ground in the signal path of the cartridge, is/are the "wire(s)" connected to the cartridge in a symmetrical pattern? And there are other considerations.
A stranded wire regardless of conductor material will sound different (red worse) than a litz wire of the same gauge.
But you are right simply using "silver" something or other just because silver has 5-6% better conductivity than copper is meaningless and probably reveals noting about the results.
Cheers!
