I'll second the idea that silver-plated copper wire has a brighter, thinner sound, regardless of insulator, although Teflon seems to add to this brightness.
Most power cables I've built or auditioned have sounded inferior when using silver plated wire, while pure silver can be very good if matched with the right AC connectors.
Copper wire can be pretty amazing if used in a geometry that doesn't feature tons of inductance, which can make the sound 'muddy' and colored in the mids.
