Paul, hi. Silver wire? You might try Handmade Electronics. Anthony has carried silver wire for years. Also print Michael Percy Audio pdf catalog and check out his Ag wire offerings. He had both bare Ag and insulated types. Often I will use bare Ag with Teflon sleeve. Teflon tube is readily available from Percy and from dozens of other industrial suppliers. Be alert to many entities selling "silver wire" to audio types as in many cases the silver is only silver plate. You have to read the fine print. In some instances this fact is never made clear. Buyer beware. Silver plated copper wire is a common military spec item with Teflon coat the thickness of which determines voltage rating. There are other industrial sources of pure Ag wire but they may only make sense if you are ordering in quantity.
