Silver plated copper vs pure copper cables

Hello I have a Denon D600. I bought one of those cheap Chinese silver plated cables on EBay and it improved openness, transparency and clarity. My 2 cents.

Never thought much of plated anything. Have pure silver type 6 ritz and cryogenically frozen pure copper, like em both, ones for detail one helps with the thump.

I'm sort of a newbie, but I bought/used a simple 2-core pure copper cable (which seemed to be single filament), then tried the 8-core SPC cable off a Tinhifi T3, which immediately sounded muddy and bright. Caveat is other factors in the transmission were also different. Given the choice I'll be on pure copper though.

As some have said, quality of the material used is important. Then litz is better than single stranded. IMO I prefer the hybrid cables, occ copper and pure silver together for the best details and frequency response.
If you want the best you don't have to pay a thousand bucks (like many boutique sellers charge), though. Spend a couple or three hundred on Norne Audio cables and have a work of art that also sounds amazing-
that said, I can't see it helping much if the cans themselves cost less than that. I don't see anything wrong with dropping a few hundred to pair with Flagship cans, though- especially since most of the time the provided cables are crap.
