RE: If silver is more conductive than copper how come it often sounds worse? .

If you have compared the parts (inductor, transformer etc) made with copper and silver a to b where the only thing that's different is the wire and come to that conclusion, then you hear some aspect of the wire having a bit less resistance on the circuit's other parts.

Normally, lower resistance is a good thing like in a transformer and since heating is proportional to the Current squared time the resistance, silver has lower losses.

What do you hear silver doing that copper doesn't do?
