IMO Silver coated cables sound "artificially" bright. I believe you should stick with either solid silver or solid copper.
The argument goes (if you believe it):
The Treble (which passes along the silver part of the cable), travels quicker than the Bass (which travels along the copper part)....due to the different conductivity/resistance of the two metals. This causes the "so called" perceived brightness. I prefer to stick with a very pure form of copper combined with superior dielectrics.
