We can argue until the cows come home as to the quality of the analogies used here such as feedback vs non-feedback amplifiers.But the fact remains there is no documented evidence a few inches of silver versus copper wire makes any appreciable difference in waveform fidelity in a preamp application. It is simply not measurable at audio frequencies and very likely unmeasurable at video frequencies for that matter. Microwave RF, perhaps we may see a difference.
As for what people hear, well they hear what they want to hear. And if they don't mind spending the money, go ahead and use silver wire.
But the established electrical engineering community is clearly in the hogwash camp as far as this idea goes.
