Silver interconnects & copper speaker cable O.K. ?


Is it O.K. to mix and match or should a system consist of all copper or all silver in regard to the cabling?
Does it make a difference?
Does it matter?
Thanks and enjoy the weekend!

WHy would you question that when you are probably using Copper wire inside your speakers and the Contacts are Copper.

Mixing the 2 in a Cable design I have read introduces grain,but everything in the chain matters. It is finding that magical combo which makes things intresting for me.

I am trying to find the most cost effective combo that makes my system sound it's best.

Some Copper that I am using has the traits of good SIlver so it has alot to do with the design rather than the type in my reading and hearing.

Another thing that I am intrested in is the mixing of dissimilar metals for the connectors. So there are always questions and hard to find answers.

I'd rather experiment buying wires and trying things instead of paying for a finished product that might or might not work. Saves $$ and I learn alot.
Was thinking that it might be beneficial to use Silver on the topend and Copper tfor the bottom in Bi-Wiring combo.

Any thoughts?
In the Bi-Wiring scenerio using Silver on top and Copper for the bottom end seems to work fine in my system.

I am finding that Connector matching is crucial also. I tried Cardas Silver which behaved really bad in IC's! Could be a Capcitance issue because I use a Passive Controller.
