you know... the whole "gold plated" thing is kind of funny and I would like to find the president of every company that pimps it and blow thier freaking heads off. In some cases, gold plated connectors actually HURT connections.
I even saw a Digital Optical cable at Best Buy for $10 or so, right next to a $60 one with 'gold plated connectors'. I was just so dumbfounded that I grabbed an employee and asked why one was so much more expensive than the other and he said "This one is gold plated so it gives you a much better connection. OPTICAL CABLE!!!! Gold plated connectors make light travel faster/cleaner? Yea.. I wanted to rip that guy's head off too.
