Steve,Thanks for your response!
I just checked out that company's website: impressive product array.
I tend to be a minimalist and a purist in my system's design, but one company whose products I find particularly impressive is the company which makes those blue colored RCA plugs (whose name starts with "Eich").
They claim the following:
"In addition, most binding posts utilise a heavy plating of gold
over a nickel substrate, and ultimately over brass, to achieve
their bright yellow-gold look. While giving the contact surface
a rich jewel-like appearance, this is often a cause of degraded
sound quality as electrons flow through three dissimilar metals
with differing electrical and conductive properties."This claim makes a lot of sense, logically. I like the idea of a binding post and connector having less metal which can potentially mean less resistance.
I definitely believe that "that is in the ears of the listener" is always highly subjective and inherently biased in many cases. While the listener's satisfaction is the most important, I want to quantify the logic and step into the scientific domain in an attempt to prove what makes one conductor or cable design better than another. Such a study, if conducted with the utmost care, could radicalize DIY thinking and clear up a lot of the hype.
