Gold-plating the connectors is actually one of the few things that does make sense. When new, they won’t sound better, but they corrode less, which can, sometime in the future, make a difference, albeit very slight: surface oxidation can form a tiny capacitor. That said, I think you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference to chrome-plated ones. But unlike lots of other esoteric “high-end” nonsense, this one has at least theoretical technical merit. And the micrometer-scale galvanic gold-plating isn’t expensive, either.
I am a very patient Apollo refugee. It may take many weeks for some servers to adapt to the ever-growing influx and for new apps to squash bugs and build out functionality. My body is ready. This is now home.
Surprises me that you get banned for it but whenever someone else call another person that - they get away with either a warning or nothing happens. Lol.
