I tried Silver Plated Copper wire before in different DIY configurations on interconnects, never cared for the sound I got. When first listening I was like yeah, but after 100hrs I didn't care for them anymore, there was just something I didn't like but I can only say it kind of sound it was slightly smeared.
Now I have tried and have interconnect wire that have both Solid Silver plated Copper with other wire strand of OCC copper. That has worked out really nice. I have never tried them in Speaker cables so I don't know that will sound.
Glad you found something you really like. Also A.S. is a really good dealer as I have dealt with them before and get fast shipping here to the US. Never had any issues.

Hey there Cougar,
As I to have tried several different brands of silver plated copper IC's, each of which I found forced me away from pure copper ones, as the added sense of top end extension and speed caught me off guard | yet allowed me to gauge just how slow sounding copper was, not along allowing me to heard certain nuances which were glossed over, or missing all together, said first experience with this type of wiring ( IC's ) were claimed to be some form of heavier plate silver over copper as produced by NASA during the 60s, and came in a twisted white Teflon outer shelving based design.
In this instance it was a very very balanced sound, yet as I went onto explore pure silver IC's, like AlphaCore TQ2s | Yannis Tome Audio Cable Design Gaia 222Connect | Gothic Audio Nosferatu as well as said sterling silver from Xangsane, there's simply no going back. " like ever ". And while I'm able to live with copper as it related to a power cord or SCs, that's where I've to draw a very very defined line in the sand.
Bro. I'm in a much happier | safer place or zone these days, with no need for BS!, as I do trust in my ears | senses of means as guiding me in the right direction as far as emotional impact | purity of tonality | textural beauty.
Great news in hearing you've had wonderful experiences with A.S., as well.
experienced IC's sounding sluggish was the Harmonic Technology IC's. All others never sound like that. I use Vampire CCC wire in my own DIY cables with Rhodium Connectors be it AC, IC connectors, or Speaker Spades all are Rhodium platted. Even my 10 AC outlet AC strip is all Outlets are Rhodium Platted as well.

Cougar,
It's weird you'd mention Harmonic Technologies, as I came away from the usual IC's | SCs | PCs being regulated to be used with Naim Audio integrated amps where I starting in 1984-2021, and only came into buying other brands more seriously in 2001, starting with an entire H. T. Truth-Link IC's | Pro 11+ SCs | PC set, and purchased a pair of their then Pro Silway MK ll's ( pure silver ) IC's, in 2009, to be used as a Tonearm cable on a WTL Amadeus GTA MK ll, only to come away thinking both them | a pair of Auditorium 23 SCs were the most muffled sound I had ( and have ) experienced to date.
And while said SCs did in fact sound wonderfully on Shindo Labs amplification of which they were primarily built around, with some brands of amps, the magic didn't come through, shortly there afterwards I began using the Synergistic Research Tricon IC's ( silver matrix ) around February of 2010, which were in fact just right, as the old Goldilocks | The Three Bears movie goes.
I also came to the whole concept behind Rhodium Plated Copper connectors rather late | Thanks to both Judith | Jon L., I bit the bullet and just recently started re-terminated every cable or cord with either the set screw types from Viborg | Monosaudio | Furutech ( clones ) and can't look back, even gold plated copper types have been avoided. I've read where many felt rhodium sounded off, yet my ears now tell me much much differently, and once again, logically they're here to stay.
