I used to work with a guy that said he could hear the difference between
gold plated and tin plated RCA connectors.

These are the folks that will pay $1000/meter for glorified zip cord.

I seriously doubt that : I've never seen tin plated RCA connectors.

However hearing the difference between gold plated and nickel plated RCA
connectors should be pretty easy for a well trained ear :
Just drop both connectors on a hard surface. Nickel plated and gold plated
shouldn't sound exactly the same.
