Aluminum wiring


I recently moved into a house with aluminum wiring and am considering converting over to copper. Is there a benefit to converting for sound quality?

Problem with aluminum is that has different thermal expansion coefficient and connections on wall outlets can get loose over time causing exposed wire surface oxidation and sparking/overheating (aluminum oxide is isolator). There are special wall receptacles for aluminum wiring marked CO/ALR.
