gold plated RCA plug: brass or pure copper chassis


A while back I had some Mogami 2549 made up with Neutrik Pro-fi RCA connectors that are brass chassis with gold plating and a plastic surround. I've been reading more about all copper chassis RCA plugs that are also gold plated. If you had your choice, which one would you go with? My system is already pretty much on the warm side with Mogami wire all around (details in system) plus the Audio Refinement separates (preamp and amp) plus the Jasmine LP2.0 mkII (great deal).

Having ordered from China directly before with the Jasmine, I found these:

Here are the ones I am currently using:

Each plug will have it's own sound. In general, copper will produce a warmer sound, IMO it can also limit the upper frequencies. Gold platting is usually necessary because copper by itself will probably corrode. Best to try and see what you prefer for your ears.
