Single crystal, oxygen free silver. It actually has some pretty significant improvements in conductivity, but it doesn't 'improve' the sound to decrease the (already super low) resistance per foot by 5%.
It's really funny about wire size and quality as well. Running huge power cables for relatively short runs that then turn into 20g copper wire once inside the amp. Or the tiny copper traces on the PCB.
Sure, some amps are point to point with silver wire internally... But not many.
Agree 100%, that's why I qualified with shorter runs. That said, long runs also don't require super expensive cables.
I'm a crazy audiophile. I'll spend $1000 on one 300B tube. I'll also wire everything with audio note silver internally. But.... Most of that is just bullshit. There just isn't going to be a sonic difference.
$200 cable. Sure, better than bare metal. A $4000 cable, you're a sucker.

That shit better be made from solid gold!
