Japes, first try this thread for R-C filtering on speaker cables. There are more. Just look up "filter" under my name "bartc" or "Al Sekela" and follow all the links to the other posters and you'll get tons of stuff from various years and levels of developments.
As I understood it, Zobels are a particular usage of R-C filters, while R-C filtering or parallel AC filtering are more generic terms. I'm not the EE here, so don't go by my amateur information. But you can find lots in the archives by each of these, and R-C parallel filtering schemes work for both AC and speaker cable voltage/wattage/amperage situation, only you require more specific safety designed pieces for the AC.
As to QS, I have only the original silver formulation and have never heard the gold version. I was never dissatisfied with the silver and am not dissing it here. I was just suggesting that CAIG is great for lots more uses and I think it's better for treatment before one crimps the terminations onto the bare wire ends. Nothing I can prove or disprove there.
Al always was suspicious of the carrier of the QS type products drying out and leaving you with a less optimal conductivity. Some folks like the more detailed sound, some find it too bright or brittle. I never disliked it and actually liked it, until I started using more refined polished plugs and outlets from Furu and then Oyaide, and then felt the QS to be unnecessary. YOu also have to be careful of where you use it and how, so as not to create a shorting situation!
YMMV.
