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!

Thanks for that suggestion pindac. Never thought about PC Triple C for phono use, I will check it out.
SAEC are the only Company I am aware of offering PC Triple C as a Internal Tonearm Wire.
I have a intention to Strip out a Wire and use the Strands to produce a Wire to the Gauge to suit a Internal Tonearm use.
If all goes well this will be used to exchange my ’in use’ Wire.
I am Methodically Changing to PC Triple C (PC CCC) from OCC throughout the entirety of the System.
I have a Nanotech Power Strada 308 Power Cable that has impressed me.
Interconnects are on route as a Off the Shelf Version and I have Wire on Order to Build my Own.
I also have D.U.C.C Interconnects as well to compare with the PC CCC.

Note: Their is no Holy Grail Cable or Formula to help the best selection of Interfaces to be made using wires/cables.
Trailling and Trawling through options and configurations will help discover the Interfaces that are delivering the Sound Quality that is a
fine tuned asembly to enable a Listenerto create a set up to satisfy their Unique Preferences.

There are individuals who have Discarded $3000+ Dollar Cables for Home Built versions of IC’s and Speaker Cables.

It can be said the exchange to the PC CCC Tag Wires made a Impression, ’even though it is subtle’, in a Sytem that can reveal like mine, a Subtle Change for the betterment, is a Night and Day difference.
The PC CCC achieved this at a very fair outlay.

If the wish is to trial PC CCC Tag Wires there are a few versions of these available on Yahoo Japan.
I have only tried the Ortofon so far, curiosity is creeping in though.
Will the PC CCC /EX get an audition ?

Using the 40+ Years owned Pink Floyds ’Wish You Were Here’ Album.
During the ’wish You Were Here’ Track about Midway through the Track
a backing vocal comes in with a quietness and progressing forward in the mix.
Using the PC CCC Tag Wire, the backing vocal comes completely forward in line with lead singer.
This same change to the details has happened on another System as well.
This is not happening to this same detail with other Tag Wires in use.
During a Session with comparing Cartridges on another System,
Cartridges that were costing quite a margin more than mine, were not allowing this level of detail through, and the Mid’s and Highs when in the Hot Seat, were IMO with a little more projection.

With another 40+ Year owned Album Lou Reeds ’ Transformer’
the Track ’Take a Walk on the Wildside’ produces a more noticeable reverberating Bass Note, than my other used Tag Wires, the extende time for the Note to Decay is very attractive.

What totally bewilders me is that Albums that have been Abused in a earlier period of ownership, through typical Teenager Activities from the Vinyl Heydays are still capable off delivering a performance that is offering insights that impress.

For me the Introduction of the PC CCC Tag Wire gave extra insight to the Attack, Dynamics, Sustanance and Decay that has been Engineered into a Mix.
Well, you got your answer. There is no answer.
But the Walker stuff does dry out. Does NOT glue the connection together. Works well. Otherwise use Pro Gold. Get rid of connectors in the signal path. Suffice to say I don’t agree w Pindac on wire.
This has been a great learning experience, thanks to all. I have known for a longtime that connectors/connections are the weak link, so still a lot of things to try. Does anyone know about intermetallic formation between gold and silver? I know from my failure analysis days that intermetallic formation was a major cause of failures, specifically between gold and aluminum.
