Rewiring Power Distributor -- Will Silver Plated Copper Help or Hinder?


I have an NBS Black Box on which I replaced the stock outlets with Porter Ports.. HUGE performance gain with that swap out (but worst break-in I've ever been thru).  The receptacles were originally connected with low gauge solid copper wire.  I'm considering replacing that wire with 12 AWG silver plated copper wire.

There's lots of threads on silver v copper for signal cables, but I didn't see any for this in the context of line voltage.  Any thoughts on the above?  Thanks.

I've never had good luck with silver plating. After a few weeks it finally settles down to sound as good as copper. IMHO, not worth it. 

Use pure silver or pure copper.
