The gold plating isn't there for better connectivity, its there to add weight to reduce vibration generated by the receiver/submitter (apparently). It's not necessary, but no doubt the sort of people to buy this sort of product have a level of OCD or just inexperienced. The reviewers seem happy with it at least :p. Monster do this sort of shit a lot.
