Regarding the latest in cable technology is Silver wire still consistently brighter than Copper wire?

In a recent post a welling meaning member recommended to a man with Tinnitus that he stay away from silver cables essentially because of the inherent brightness of Silver. But is that traditional assumption/orthodoxy still correct? My understanding is that most of the high end cable companies have made real advancements in metallurgy such that you can no longer assume that their Silver wire is inherently brighter than their Copper wire. That is certainly my take away of late when comparing cables. It is true that some cables are brighter than others, but that no longer appears to be simply caused by Silver versus Copper. I am interested to hear what other listener's experiences have been regarding this issue. In other words should we be making blanket statements about inherent qualities of Silver or Copper cable other than that Silver ore is more expensive than Copper ore? I welcome your thoughts and experiences?

Thank you
 
Never found it to be the case at all.
Now silver coat might be but not silver core.
