One has science behind it, one has mumbo jumbo positive thinking behind it.

one is mumbo jumbo, the other has been proven but you have to get the right crystals.

gold plated is only good when you play outside and risk oxydation, I have some XLR that got rusted. I didn't know it was sold as more conductive

gold is the best conductor of electricity

gold is more conductive, (even though it won't do much since it's such a short distance it's technically still un-noticeably better)... however

meanwhile the actual wires inside the cable are aluminum lol

gold cables do work better tho

gold plating isn't there to make the audio sound better, it's there to avoid issues with oxidation on the contacts between the connectors

the REAL issue with gold plated connectors are when they try to put them on toslink cables (theyre fibre optic)

seidel aberrations pro max :
it's good because it doesn't oxide so it will create a more reliable connection but it won't sound any better

its not that gold sounds noticably better, its so your connectors dont corrode

Y'all do know crystals are the only reason we have computers and phones right? How do y'all think this stuff works?

Gold-plated contacts are the standard these days for durable electronics. You don’t pay much extra for them. But those crystals? A total rip-off. They buy them cheap and sell them dear.

After many years They do sound better than standards cables of the same age because gold doesn’t oxidize like iron and copper. But, no, they don’t sound better on day 1 or even after a year

Okay but the diamond-Kevlar-carbon fiber-gold tipped-extra insulated cables made by the lord are worth the 10k/meter trust you can hear the difference

Shocking how many people genuinely believe the gold plating does anything. If it did, why aren't XLR cables gold plated and is gold plating mostly found in consumer connectors? Because professional sound engineers see through the scam.
