Do I need silver in a power cord

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

I'm researching lower priced power cords for a pair of small tube mono amps. I keep finding claims that silver along with copper "speeds up" the signal as it is a better conducter that copper.
Is this just hype?
Then, Blue Circle claims that they don't need to insulate their cords because of a proprietary way of winding their cords.
Is this just hype?
