While silver oxide is conductive, our air is not pure oxygen.
Silver reduced in sulphur laden air makes for intermittent connections.
Follow Ups:
Any time silver or any other metal is transformed to its corresponding positive ion, an oxidation has occurred. This is a basic chemistry definition. The chemical product may be an oxide, as in the case of copper under atmospheric conditions, but in sulfur-rich city atmospheres the tarnished product from silver metal oxidation is predominantly silver sulfide. Oxygen and oxides are not necessarily involved in oxidation as correctly defined.
The exposed metal in my system (at the speaker wire/banana plug interface) is coated with nail varnish periodically to minimise atmospheric egress. No ingredient in nail varnish is known to interact chemically with silver or copper metals under normal conditions.
If anyone wants to they can investigate whether there is any correlation between brands of nail varnish and sonic qualities. I've got better things to do with my spare time.
well put ......
I think you will find all silver salts to be electrically conductive ..unlke copper where they are semiconductors ....

Yeah, but really, what's it matter at the end of the day unless you're talking about mechanical contacts?
