Silver Head Shell Leads

I have an Audio Technica 33 Mono Anniversary cartridge and would like to replace the head shell leads. I'm currently using copper leads and am thinking about buying silver leads. Or for even more money, I could get Rhodium plated leads. What changes would I experience by trying silver or rhodium leads. Recommendations are always appreciated. The head shell I'm using is a modified silver plated head shell on a Thorens TP16 MK1 tonearm.
Thanks!

I thought Rhodium is priced higher but that could have been isolated as they are hard to find. Anyway, I paid extra $ for the rhodium fuses in my amplifier. I had the cable at he end of my tonearm replaced with Wireworld cable which made a noticeable improvement. What I do see plenty of are 99.9% pure silver plated copper.

Save your money, dab some NPS1260 on there, bigger improvement, way less hassle.

millercarbon, I'd have to buy some NPS1260. It's not inexpensive, that's certain.

Probably little to no difference.
