Silver v Copper wire phono cable

Getting ready to order new tonearm, have option for either copper or silver continuous phono cable from cartridge to preamp.  without the  opportunity to compare personally, I would like to hear how others would chose....my system is shown on this site...thank you

Silver will be more tingly.  Copper will be warmer sounding.

I find Silver better in general, but copper isn't bad.  What is bad:  Silver plated copper.

I like silver all the way. Much better definition and attack. At least silver plated copper minimum.
