Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables


Some of the best cables are made of pure silver.  Do recording studios use silver cables?  I would think that top recording artists would want to use the cables that sound the very best.

Gold cables haven't proved popular

Wonder why?

But there are plenty of gold-plated connectors.  Gold doesn't oxidise, so this obviates the need to clean connectors often.  In many cables the cores are sealed by a partial vacuum that reduces the rate of oxidation, obviating some of the benefit of gold cores.  Note, if you've ever opened up an old copper cable after years of use the cores are all blue.
