Do silver speaker cables make a difference?
Silver demonstrates even lower resistance but the price point relative to copper is not favorable. Gold won’t oxidize on contact with air (so it’s a great plug material) but it’s more resistant than either copper or silver so it’s not ideal for cable runs.
Are silver cables better?

Why are speaker cables made of pure silver?
Pure Silver Speaker Cables The idea behind our loudspeaker cables is a simple one — reduce them to the fewest possible elements and use the best possible materials based solely on the way they sound, not the way they measure. Our single conductor cables are an elegant solution for your audio needs, free from hype and pseudo-science.
Which is the best speaker cable to buy?
If you fancy yourself preternaturally discerning, a premium pick are Better Cables Silver Serpent with 95 percent braided shielding, silver-coated copper wire for better conductivity and a price that is an order of magnitude higher at $120.
What kind of speaker cable does signalcable use?
Compared with the shotgun version of the SignalCable Silver Resolution speaker cables, the Analysis Plus (AP) Big Silver Oval Bi-wires proved to be disappointing.
