Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors


Hi dear fellows.Does anybody tried these type of connectors in power cords?In my case I don`t know which could be the differences in sound performances between them.I heard that rhodium connectors have more extended hights frequences , more airy and fluid than gold connectors, but also that they can produce a non-lively sound, with too much control.Regarding Gold connectors I red that they produce a warmer sound, specially in the mids, but with not so much detail as rhodium.Is it true?I will appreciate your comments to make a proper decision.Thanks in advance!Raf

Rafael0054, also, I will add, The furutech GTX-D Rhodium also has a bigger stonger middle, more together layered sound where as the Gold version is not as big or tight vivid sound stage, I am into presatation alot as you can read here,hope this was some help as well.
Rafael0054, Do you think there was a possibility that The Rhodium gave the Krell a bass suck out because the Rhodium used never had 200 watts and more on it?, like maybe it was not burned in to the power of my amp that is nearly 500 watts just on idle?, mmmm?
Hi Audiolabyrinth.Very interesting your experience with both outlets.Very well described.I'll make that test walking behind the speakers when I'll test these outlets.Regarding your last question about the rhodium outlet and the watts it was submited to, I think that you should use it several hours in the krell in order to burn in it before making a final conclusion.Or at least burn the outlet in some device that consumes many watts if you don't want to suffer the breaking period. These Furutech products requiry audiophile's patience but in the end the wating worthwhile.CheersRaf
I've never read such a load of claptrap in my life. The Oxford dictionary must have a linko this thread next to the word "misinformed", lol!
Rafael0054, I talked to Krell yesterday, as it turns out, the stock power cord that is 10awg 3/1 9ft is a common power cord, but patrick bresnahan also said that the hard wireing part of this power cable is unlike any other manufactuor's, most use a bus bar then go from there, Not krell, this power cord is wired directly to the power supplies and power regulator's, that's really good, however, Patrick also said that the plug on the end of the cable is also common, that I would really benefit by changeing the plug at the end of the power cable, a big up-grade in sound he said would happen, The Furutech FI-50M comes to mind, oh no!, I might agonize again between Rhodium and Gold?, pricy!, $300.00 for that plug, It's on my pallet to do list for sure, nothing but the best for MR Krell.
