I will happily ante up for eight pins (enough for two HD600 headsets)....

Stirling silver is harder, still malleable and will not tarnish......

thanks...

Wrong! Copper is the main inpurity in sterling silver and reacts with sulfur in the air and your hands, forming copper sulfates. This is the brownish/grey tarnish often seen on old silver items. The silver itself reacts far less with oxygen to form silver oxides which are fairly conductive.

While the sulfur can be removed using a silver polish or the aluminum/hot water/baking soda method, periodic cleanings of these contacts would be a pain.

Other than "bragging rights", what's the deal with a solid silver pin?
Are there any tangible and documented benefits over silver-plated copper?

Perhaps one of you guys in the "silver is really cheap and way better" camp could send some to Drewday to make it easier for him to get them made.

I would also point out, as I have some experience with machining, that a LOT of the material ends up as shavings on the floor. That $6 an oz. will turn out to be VERY expensive. First off, what FORM the silver in can more than double the price, and like I said, a lot of it ends up getting shaved off and wasted. This may end up costing waaay more than you think: I tried to make a copper water cooling system for my computer a while ago and it ended up being no cheaper than just buying the waterblocks.
