Tonearm wire, silver or copper?

As I mentioned up the thread a bit, my encounters with silver wiring haven’t in the main been positive but I’m currently running my SPU Century through a 1:26 Sculpture A silver SUT and it’s not showing any of the negative characteristics I’ve come to associate with silver. That’s now two instances where I’ve found no obvious downside, the other being the Transfiguration Proteus. In both cases I haven’t made a direct comparison with copper, the 1:26 copper SUT is out of stock at the moment.

More evidence that system building and synergy really are things.
I've moved some simple Rollerballs isolation from under my TT motor controller, and my silver wired LP playback has lost quite a bit of exaggerated sharpness.
I'm still going to get Cardas Clear copper wire made up, but feel less compelled to investigate.
