Generally wise/unwise to mix metals in AC plugs?


Is it generally wise or unwise to employ different metals in the terminations of power cords? For instance, Copper (male or iec) on one end and Gold on the other? And so forth -- all the permutations.

Every wire, every connector, every circuit board, every capacitor lead, resistor lead, solder.. thousands of changes in metal formulation, drawn, cast, soldered, stamped...Copper, pure copper, various grades of cheap copper, Carbon, silicon, rare metals embedded in matrices.. Amazing anything reasonably like music comes out the end with the signal going through around under between all this stuff.
