I am doing some research on spades and banana plugs for speaker cable. A friend of mine suggested I go with pure unplated copper instead of gold plated copper. Does pure copper offer any sonic benefits over the plated versions?
On the conductivity scale, copper and gold are very similar and you won't hear an actual difference with the only useful testing (blind) but bare copper will tarnish and need to be cleaned periodically.
