Life span of silver cables with cotton/air dielectric

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen,
I need your advise and help,  on silver cables.
In detail, recently I have auditioned some silver cables interconnects which are using cotton as dielectric. I liked the sound and I was about to purchase them until somebody told me that they will corrode fast and the sound will degrade.

what’s your experience on this matter?

thank you

But the issue with air is oxidisation of the conductors that is unseen and untreatable.
There was a time when most cables were sealed.  I even recall some manufacturers talking about a vaccuum.
