With the same thing in mind (i.e. using this cable for XLRs), a while back I searched for "silver plated copper XLR" and found a few inexpensive sets that claimed to be silver over copper. Not being a very trusting soul, I didn't want to roll the dice. Instead I opted for some AECO Silver over Copper XLRs. Not cheap, but not as expensive as some. I didn't want to commit too much to this Sterling Silver wire.
I had some XLR cables made for me using this wire. It has potential. A good sign - I didn't run out of the listening room screaming.
I am not inclined to put it in the dreaded cable drawer or box. It needs more time; I think it may be a keeper. I was going to get the AECO Gold over Copper XLRs, but was advised to go with Silver/Copper. I'm glad I did; I don't think the Gold would have the speed or snap of Silver. The bass was pretty good as well. We shall see.
