Silver/copper alloy cables

Your question seems to be based on the idea that since copper and silver sound a certain way all we have to do is mix (alloy) them together and we get the best of both. Like mixing pineapple juice and rum. Only these are metals. Silver melts at 965C, copper 110 degrees hotter at 1085C. Pretty much all our high end audio wire are five nines pure. But getting two metals to alloy properly often requires mixing in other elements that may not be desired for the end result but are necessary just to make the alloy. I'm no chemist but it takes like 30 seconds to learn this, and that's even with todays corrupted search engines.

The best solution I have seen are my Synergistic Research Element Copper Tungsten Silver cables. These combine the bass warmth of copper with the speed and extension of silver with the beautiful midrange of tungsten. Essentially three high end hand made cables in one. It would be a hell of a lot easier if we could just mix them up in a blender. Yum. But we can't.

Actually, the premise of my question is simply that there exists, and you can purchase, silver/copper alloy wire in various percentages with no added elements listed. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a company that utilizes this wire for manufacturing cables. And if not, why not?
Seems like the best of both to me....if you dig that type of sound.

I thought SRs tungsten construct was a silver/tungsten mix. They just don’t use a length of tungsten SC wire. There is a lot of thinking in SRs constructs, It’s not Brylcreem, "a little dab will do ya".. LOL
Yup I read that...in the actual wire recipe, for the tungsten/silver mix. Not cheap stuff. It’s a lot more malleable too.. SR has some really good stuff always going on.

I just read a cable 3 meters SILVER CLAD 12/24 conductor #20 (spaced) ribbon cable. with spades. and wood weight blocks
34,000.00 PLUS... for a pair... 2500.00 for parts and labor, that’s a push....

That cable is just Copper clad, plane and simple, oh it might have a twist or a good cryo (LOL)... A great looks, but in reality 30,000.00 worth of pure GREAD. They have a 17,000.00 version too.. 6/12 or something..

I use nickel / silver. I have some short boxes that have all kind of mixtures in short lengths on turret boards. I've tried a lot of mixes,some are really different.. lead/tin, alu/mag, molyB/alu, brass wire. I've also wrapped short runs of different combo stranded and SC wires with VERY fine silver, and copper SC wire. one wrap per inch or so. THAT made some really interesting cables... The mixing box can hold 15 different constructs, a network and custom wound adjustable induction coils..

What was your favorite combination?

Mundorf and Neotech make copper/silver alloys with the addition of a small amount of gold. The Neotech copper/silver/gold is the better sounding option.
