Silver plated copper


Please explain to me the theoretical basis of using silver plated copper in cables. Seems counter intuitive to me. Signal would have two paths with different conductivity which would cause distortion.

There is no reason why you want to use 2 different conductors (of any type) in a cable. In fact I am also not in favor of any plating on surfaces which attach to equipment. FWIW.
