Silver plated copper vs copper speaker wires ? What's better ? Help !!!

Compared to copper cored cables, the pure silver items are disproportionately expensive. Obviously the unit cost will be higher as it's a specialised market, but the prices do not reflect the modest amount of silver used. It's a 'luxury' product, so you pay accordingly.

In some implementations silver may be preferred, in others, not! I'll stick with copper thanks, it's consistent.

Yes, that makes sense. And I'm wondering what happens to pure silver in the long run because it gets tarnished.

it only gets tarnished on the exposed bits , i use chord epic in one system and sometime just have to peel back the teflon to re terminate infrequently
