Ironically, I read that misinformation on Audiogon.

I believe oxidized silver is as good a conductor. I’ve seen copper connectors. Not sure how they hold up with all the air. Gold is probably okay for longevity but it’s not a great conductor. Sounds warm. Rhodium is great for detail but can sound a little hard and chrome-like.
