RE: Viborg spade warning

This is a case of online reviews based on hearsay getting too much traction. The real story is Viborg discontinued their truly unplated products, and are now applying what they are calling a nano treatment over the copper base metal. It appears to be a layer of Rose Gold which is an alloy of gold, copper, and silver in order to avoid oxidation, and to make the prongs look bright and shiny. The new "nano treated" products do not sound like unplated copper, since the plating causes the connector to sound more like a gold-plated AC connector. To radically change a design and release it with the same model number is not a good thing to encounter in any marketplace. I have now found a superior sounding and built AC connector brand at a competitive price point that includes an unplated product line-up, so I no longer order Viborg products, with no looking back.
