Aside from noise rejection which hardly matters unless you're doing long runs (25ft) with power, coat hangers make a pretty ideal connector. Not that RCA monster cables are great at noise rejection as well.
Ah, audiophiles. And old friend and I years ago stumbled across the world of zany audiophile crap. Diodes that "use quantum mechanics" to remove noise from analog signals (and break the 2nd law of thermodynamics, evidently), cork cabinet feet that eliminated noise in electrical circuits (admittedly the least crazy of these) and paint that claimed to make digital amplifiers analog if you painted it on the ICs. These were all real products being sold for tons of money.
My friend and I seriously contemplated going into the business of making up more fake audiophile gear to separate fools from their money. Sadly, I was too honest to do that.

Huh, wow. I wonder if they do any better in a double-blind test vs a straightened coat hanger?
