Silver is a far superior conductor, and everyone knows about the "skin effect" in wires. So obviously you want silver coated solid core copper. That's not even getting into all the other factors involved in proper cable selection.

I recommend these cables for the entry level audiophile.

But the current, and therefore signal, goes on the outer side of the conductor, so you suggest the signal to go through unevenly rusted silver instead of unoxidizing in normal circumstances gold?

According to the people that make the £70,470.00 speaker wires: yes.

That's awfully specific!
