I recently bought a run of 4-core microphone cable to make an 0404 breakout cable. But upon stripping the ends, I realised the wires are silver-/aluminium-coloured, not the reddish brown copper I expected. Is this just tinned copper (tinned with what?) or is it just some 'alternative' metal used in place of copper? It's definitely not silver.
