I'm bi. I like to have silver riding on top of copper guy.
Silver plated copper gives the best of both worlds. Bass is great from the copper, and detail is great from the silver plating. It also makes everything sound more distinct.
Soft, slowly drawn solid core silver with cotton insulation for me. I only use teflon in air where I'm working with high voltage. Add to that minimal connector mass for a very natural sound.
Solid core silver and copper for me. In my new speaker cables I am running 4 strands of 18g FIM CCC copper and 10 strands of 24g silver and evenly divide them between + and - . I think the results are pretty good.
I prefer silver because IMO it is more detailed, extends further into the highs, and it is clearer. Of course since I can not always afford I end up with silver plated copper.
I use single strand copper for all of my ICs and speaker cable, but my amp is wired internally with solid silver wire. The chassis of both of my amps are made from solid electrical grade copper. So I think I am a decidedly copper person.
With my current Rig, pure Silver IC (purchased from Qables) is my number one choice. Simply because the output sounds airy and details are more succinct.
