I have some silver signal cables that are associated with phono. Who's to say yay or nay? My SME V arm came with silver cabling and I was not about try something else.
You could, assuming connections were not an issue (they most definitely are), use aluminum for AC mains wire. Anybody who tells you it will sound bad is ignoring the fact that electricity is transported cross-country on aluminum cables, with steel cores. ;>)
I suspect that high purity copper is quite adequate for almost all amp duties.
Perhaps the most interesting use of silver wiring was during WW2. Copper was a strategic material and, for a time, in very short supply. Remember, the 1943 Lincoln cent was made of steel. The Manhattan Project (atom bomb) needed enormous amounts of wiring. They used silver (very big $) until copper became available.
