Perhaps the gold plated plug reduces spurious optical reflections between the
lead and the LED / photodiode. I bet a hi-fi journalist would be able to "explain"
how the gold-plated plugs produce superior sound quality. Such knowledge
of optics is beyond me or anyone with a scientific background however :-)
