Adrian, I specifically do not want to use wire to "compensate" for systemic problems. Like some pathetic believer, I have long held that the "best" wire would be "transparent". Since that appears increasingly unlikely, I suppose I am now after the most interesting compromise between the lesser of weevils and maximum content.
My own experience with silver coated copper had nothing to do with expections, as far as I know; it just was not good. I found it to be fundamentally dis-integrated, with cartoon-ish stratification and unbearable noise. And it only got worse over time... the proto-typical non-starter. And, you may have heard, even others who loved it initially eventually wound up talking lawsuits. Feh, already...
But thre's always Hope in the Unknown. No way I would have guessed from either "common knowledge" or "common sense" the difference in sound between the Mundorf silver versus their silver-and-gold caps. By this, I mean to say that I realize that this idea of mine is rooted in and guided by the most ephemeral of practical flim-flam. But at the same time, I have the stuff I need to do it onhand, and I am obviously OCD, with the attention span of a fruit fly.
Best regards,
