This is actually a hifi brand selling cables named after snakes. I posted about this earlier but the post vanished into thin air.

Snake Oil sells interconnects for audiophiles

A defining feature of this era is that snake oil sells in many aspects of life. All you need is slick marketing and sales

Ingenious branding I'd say! To use the 'Snake Oil' moniker which universally gets a justifiable bad rep as their brand name is quite bold on their part not to mention pique the attention of audiophiles.

reminds me of the OSRL drink being (wrongly) sold as OSR

“Gold-plated connectors for maximum signal transfer. Because even cables deserve a little bling-bling.”

“Gold-plated connectors for maximum signal transfer. Because even cables deserve a little bling-bling.”

Approaching the issue of efficiency in conducting electrical signals from source to the speaker magnets with least amount of loss: Gold plating at connection points seems to be preferred by some as gold is non corrosive, does not oxidise and is non magnetic. Plating is also far less expensive than solid gold banana plugs or spades (do they exist even)
I do find discolored copper (CuSO4?) needs to be cleaned or sanded periodically while using bare copper wire directly.
Tinned copper is praised by some for its conductive properties but I know nothing about this.
