pure silver speaker wire


Anyone know where I can source pure silver 8awg cable with around 500 strands per lead? Thank you all.

Man that is a big chunk of silver. Something like that is going to cost a ton. I can only guess you are going to use it for a power cable? Is that right?

I wouldn't trust it for a power cable myself. Silver is stiff and breaks easily, including stranded. Wire in that size may be more easily found in the silver plated/clad copper form. And, I don't have any suggestions for that type either.
These guys,

sell 10awg solid core either bare or in FEP and also a 16-strand, 22awg per strand, which would equal a 10awg if you used the whole braid. If you wanted 8awg, you could twist four of the 16-strand bundles together and connect them in a star-quad geometry. I would probably not use them for power cables because of the FEP covering.

If you want to spend some money, below are two where you can purchase UPOCC solid core silver by Neotech in bulk. I do not know of anyone selling solid silver in fine strands.

VH Audio also sells solid core OCC silver in a variety of sizes up to 14awg.
