    I would ask how you know that guy sweats a lot, but then I saw his username.

    Fair enough.

      It’s a joke, Noodle isn’t actually calling Enigma sweaty but ironically using it instead of “sweetie”

  Yes.

  It’s also for digital signals, so interference doesn’t matter (up to the point it stops everything).

  But hey, it also has a silver ABS grip.

    That’s so lame. They should have gone with gold HDPE.

  Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I would think it’s to resist corrosion, but there are plenty of cheaper metals to plate with that don’t corrode, so even that’s a stretch.

    Regular toslink is just plastic

      That’s what I was thinking, it’s not even a glass fiber-optic. Works fine for audio though and lasers are cool, so it all balances out

        Toslink is not a laser just a red LED.

    If you wanted to make a high quality plug, you’d use a stainless steel guide. It has to be steel because it’s elastically deformed during insertion, and any plating will be scratched with enough use.

    Most plugs don’t work that way, but this one model does.

  That sounds like something one of those humans would say.

    There’s micro plastics in our data streams now.
