Default Are Gold plugs/sockets a gimmick ?

Gold plugs and sockets ...

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.

I've found too many problems with au-plated phono/rca.
Solid outer barrels , no axial cuts, so they almost weld themselves to the
socket outers. Use with monster thick cable and there is nothing much to
hold the cable sheathing so breaks/shorts etc
