[Jraef]

some of them audiophiles think dey got got hearing that picks up the 1 MHz harmonics, .....dat wye dey needs silver coated wire two . ..

horror of horrors, audio nuts wont tolerate the distortion of a class D amp, but think the distortion from an AB and from tube saturation are "warmth" ... PT Barnum syndrome, eh?

Silver... peh!

Gold baby gold!

Jeez what an elitist.

Silver coated wire is fine since it is insulated, you only need gold for the receptacles.

Yes... (pure) gold is best for connections because it does not tarnish. Silver is the better conductor, but low tarnish resistance prevents it from being used for connectors. Just plain thermoplastic insulation over a wire is not enough to keep it from oxidizing, impinging on skin effect, where the major difference in audiophile wire occurs. Needs to be 'flooded' cable. :lol:
