[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 385546, member: 550915"] Those metals happen to be rather good conductors but the reason the terminals and blocks are plated with gold and platinum is that those two metals are not prone to corroding, unlike the brass that the terminals and blocks themselves are made of. Silver is a better condutor but it tarnishes really quickly and tarnish (silver oxide) doesn't conduct. Inhuman- I had forgotten that the insides of the wire holes were plated differently. I use the Expert stuff myself. [/QUOTE]
