Default Are Gold plugs/sockets a gimmick ?

I really think for any audio application it's a waste of gold and some
sucker's money. For high signal quality in computers and such it makes
sense.


LOL !


Aside from looking pretty, the only place where gold would help is where
the connecting conductive surfaces touch. Gold on the outer shell of a
male RCA connector is pointless.


It looks pretty though !
