Pure silver takes a heck of a long time to break in. Even using a cable cooker it can take 3 times a long as copper, and even then it needs more break in time on the actual components of your audio system. The gold/silver alloy wires have just the right amount edge removed and break in more quickly.
That said, my favorite speaker cables I made from stranded, tinned copper 10 gauge cloth covered wire pulled from a 1980's phone central office which had 48-175 d/c volts going through them the whole time. Now that's break-in.
