current preamp outputs are available on some models. Cardas, if you notice, does not define at what point current becomes only skin effect, at least for audio signal.

There was a company based in the Pacific Northwest. Winston Ma, IIRC, was associated with the distribution of many esoteric audiophile items, and they had a solid copper RCA jack (Italian sounding name, IIRC). It was simply huge, the size of a 50 caliber shell and casing, IIRC. Apparently the issue was that making the RCA center out of copper was easy and fairly strong. Making the negative connection was much more difficult because the copper was so soft it deformed fairly easy, making it easy for the jack to make a poor contact.

Also if you peruse some of the latest RCA's, many have copper center pins.
