Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables

What I was getting at was that top artists record at studios that have state-of-the-art equipment.  Those studios wouldn’t use interconnects that are lower quality than the rest of their gear.  I expect that there are some people on the forum who are familiar with such studios.  From the answers it looks like some use silver or similar ultra high quality cables.  Others use regular commercial grade cable

State of the art equipment is not the same as state of the art marketing.
They are not using silver cable to make gold albums.
And the recording engineers and sound engineers are not prone to wizardry and magic of cables.

They use literally miles of cables, and just use good cable and probably a lot of XLR balanced gear.

There is possibly some places that differ, and i am no expert on recording studios, so if there were some it would be interesting to know.

I suspect that a lot of the “Artists”, are given studios to use, and do not have a death grip of control on the studios and mixing work.

As a class, recording artists are like any other. There are some that extremely knowledgeable and some who are completely ignorant. Just like audiophiles. 🤣

When did they become recording artists?
I thought they were recording engineers.

Applying this logic they would use gold not silver. 

Gold cables haven't proved popular

Wonder why?

But there are plenty of gold-plated connectors.  Gold doesn't oxidise, so this obviates the need to clean connectors often.  In many cables the cores are sealed by a partial vacuum that reduces the rate of oxidation, obviating some of the benefit of gold cores.  Note, if you've ever opened up an old copper cable after years of use the cores are all blue.

Call some Pro dealers like Sweetwater and ask for silver cables. Get back to us with how many you found. For extra points do the same with manufacturers of pro equipment who use silver where copper would suffice. That should keep you busy for a while.
