Alex, whatever the standards and/or expectations are for steel plate for ship yards, customers for electrical connectors don't want them to start out corroded, starting at the wholesale/distributor level. So, manufacturers don't want an inventory of their finished products corroding, either, and they go out of their way to be sure this doesn't happen. I don't know the specifics of working with copper for the "hi-fi market", but it's easy to see there's not much in the way of pure copper connectors available, and I suppose this is because it's more profitable to work with and sell copper alloys ("eutectic" copper). Hard to believe there is a profitable yet un-tapped market for pure copper hi-fi connectors.
Best regards,
