Carbon and copper are great for audio cables but silver isn't. However, Silver is great for power cables and copper is quite good. I have not played with carbon fiber for power but I know it would tend to starve large amps. Only thing it should do well at is not creating a magnetic feeled that could be picked up by your Audio cables if they are too close and running with power. Maybe others could finish answering your questions.
npepinnovations, maybe I typed it wtong. I know that power going through cables creates a magnetic field, I was trying to say that carbon used for electricity tends to creat less of a feild. This is why you use carbon spark plug wires if you have noise on your audio system.

Thanks,

Now I understand. Sorry. Back to the question? I know first hand that silver makes a great power cable and IMO it works better for that than it does for audio cables. (except when everything is silver including the voice coils)
