[QUOTE="Mythor, post: 658023, member: 15931"] From a metallurgical point of view, rhodium plated is by far the best choice. It will never tarnish and it is extremely hard. Rhodium plating requires tungsten carbide abrasive to remove it. Not an issue if you are unlikely to remove the connectors often, but if you swap cables around a lot, gold will wear off. Resistivity wise silver is the best, then copper, gold and finally rhodium.That said, the resistivity is cited in nano ohm per meter. Given that the plating is only a few micron thick, that aspect becomes all but irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
