And besides, "professionals" do not use 6.3mm jacks for the speaker
connectors, unless the contacts are gold plated. With nickel plated steel,
contact resistance is unstable within a few milliohms which is no-no for
any decent audiophil!


** You must be thinking of "audiophools" not audiophiles.

Nickel plated *brass* 1/4 inch jacks and plugs are fine for speakers,
millions of instrument amps have used them for decades. Removal and
insertion plus occasional cleaning is all that is needed.

Gold plating is only for small signals.
