Gold coated brass speaker spades

@soix you make a valid point about copper and its wide use across all components . I to have some silver in my system (cables digital) but never would think of brass for any function, connectors etc. 

This topic could go on forever, cables and connectors at least, rabbit holes galore

Different types of copper (PC-OCC, PC-OCC-A, Triple-C, OCC, UPOCC, OFC, UPOFC, 102 SSC, Nano liquid, etc.

Coatings: Silver, Palladium, Rhodium, Gold, nano Au/Ag, CFC, etc

Yep.

All points about Cooper vs. Silver vs. other metals are true and I'm not arguing that. Brass wires inside Chinese fake cables instead of OFC or Silver is also true.

These truths do also reveal that for audio applications the differences will be so small that most of consumers won't notice and purchase fakes with happiness.

Right now you won't be able to find any brands of hi-end audio wires from neither DHGate nor Alibaba/Aliexpress. Before they were part of ebay everything was possible. Fake wires were made and sold to public and you can only dream about if they have silver or OFC. 

Brass wire is for hanging pictures, period.

Just another reason to avoid the fake stuff from PRC or any country.
