Well it seems that the WBT 730.11 are brass as well.
WBT-0730.11, Signature
With the same manufacturing design as the WBT-0730.01 (see below) but created using cold rolled 68% copper alloy. The connector is then plated with a single layer of 24k Gold to protect against oxidation. Finally, it is polished by hand to give an extreme finish.

Brass is around 65 to 70% copper, so why do they say there is a difference between the 68% and brass connectors?

So, in pure copper we also have CMC (Charming Musical Connector) available from HiFi collective, but I could not find stock in the EU.
In the end I have gone for some Viborg. They seem like a serious HiFi company, and state they are pure copper.
Will they make any difference? I very much doubt it....
