Trying to use physics to explain the differences between copper & silver wire will not change the fact that they do produce a different sound. If I recall, Glen Croft said that the use of all silver wire in a component would produce an undesireable sound. However the combination of both copper and silver wire is more desirable.
Speaker Wire material
Could someone please explain this to me. I have heard that using speaker wires made out of different materials will have different sounds such as using silver would sound differnt than say using copper. I have a background in electronics and don't quite understand this. If both wires have the same load carrying capacity (silver being a better conductor the wire could be smaller diameter than the copper) what would cause the the sound to be differnt. When it comes down to the physics of it aren't you just pushing electrons along the wire?
