RE: All of that *

"Don't silver or silver clad cables not have the oxidization issue re bare wire termination?"

Yes, they do. Silver has the highest conductivity of all metals, thats why some cable manufacturers use it, but copper is a close second and much cheaper. Silver is often referred to as "bright sounding" and copper as "round" or "soft" sounding, but those days are long gone, cable development has evolved so fast since then, conductor material is just one of so many variables involved.

Gold + palladium are also good conductors but immune to corrosion, thats why connectors + pins are often plated with these metals.
