Has it suddenly become cheaper to do gold-plating? If ever there was an
application crying out for gold plated contacts, it's those
T series contacts, in my opinion. (I recall reading here a few weeks ago that
the T series signalling is dependant upon reading not
*voltages but the amount of *current at very small voltages. If I remember my
dc circuits class, dirt, smudges, etc will mess with
that kind of situation easily. And they do.)
It seemed like just as the OM series went into decline, gold plated contacts
popped all over on stuff like modular phone jacks and
cables, DX contacts (even on plastic APS cameras), RCA jacks (for the phono
section on my affordable NAD integrated amp), and even
speaker wire terminals.
