Speaker cable


Can someone tell me why positive (red) cable is of copper and the return (white) is of whatever? It could be sliver plated, but why is it necessary, what does it add?

thanks

No, I am not buying it, it just caught my attention and so I asked. I think I have seen this kind of pairing elsewhere. 

thanks.

 

@lewinskih01 I know cables do make the system sound different, subtly sometimes but it is there. The strangest thing is that it does not even need to be in the high-end expensive equipment, but rather how certain modules react to it. It is from my experimenting also. But good cable is a good cable always, this goes without saying it.

@ron_hartman .. but marking the cable, instead of marking the cover is a strange way of identifying it, would not you think? And I wonder if this indeed is a copper, and not something else as the substitute. Nevermind the lamp cord, but this is the cable for the entirely different application altogether.
