In Reply to: A dilema: Solid Silver, Silver Plated Copper or Copper Component Video Cables posted by Paul in Sterling on June 28, 2001 at 19:36:35:
I'm probably going to get myself shot down in flames for this, so do check it out for yourself, but I believe that copper is a better electrical conductor than silver is anyway. I would always recommend well made, well screened leads. I've never had any trouble following that philosphy. If you have component input or RGB input use these as they do make major difference to your picture quality, far better than S video connections or standard composite.Good luck

Silver is actually a better conductor of electricity, but that really just means it can carry more current per square cross-section than copper. I believe the difference is very small between the two, though.I've compared cables with both silver and copper and have found that a good cable is a good cable, regardless of the wire material.
