Mundorf think that SilverGold alloys are pretty good and even exceptional... Supreme SilverGold capacitors, SilverGold cables.

It's worked pretty well for them. You can do anything you want as a business to reduce the electrical performance of a cable or part, then say that this modification increases the subjective benefits of the cable or part. The question is where does it end. The answer is putting photographs in your freezer to boost listening enjoyment.
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!

silver, then gold have higher electromotive force effects over copper. That is with increasingly larger atoms, and valence shell they can release more electrons.
I've experimented with simply hanging a gold, say, ring on an IC end and you can hear a difference. You shouldn't hear any change in reality
One problem with using gold-containing wire (or other gold parts) is that the gold can poison any solder joints and make them unreliable long term. I understand that NASA won't accept any gold or gold plated items that need soldering.

Very interesting paper.
That's a great idea with the gold rings. Have a girl over, impress her with your tweaked out stereo, and she won't even know you're married.
