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

HI Audiolabyrinth.I didn`t know that the original plug was made of brass,I thought it was made of bronze.Anyway If someone elses has tested the gtx d R toghether with FI 50 R in a krell amp with succesful result, then I have nothng to say.Regarding my FI 11 n1 g connector it has reached the 200 hours so I consider it to be broken in.More transparencies appeared, better defined basses and bigger mids.Anyway I must say that most of the improvements came out when I dissambled the cable and cuted the soldered ends (they had a tin surface that made contact with the furutech clamps) I did that after consulting Jim Aud at Purist Audio Design´s custommer support because I suspected that these soldered ends could not make a proper transmission of electricity as the pure copper filaments of cable do.I must say that in the original wattgate connector these soldered ends didn´t make contact with the clamps due to its format.So I´m very happy with the result.Please tell us how improves your system with gtx d R.I Wish you luck in the break in process and of course I learn from you as well.Many thanks for your feed back!It´s allways useful.Cheers.Raf
Rafael0054, wow!, just installed the furutech GTX-D Rhodium on the krell brand new out the box, get this, it is not bright at all!, The krell has the best bass I have ever heard out of this amp, talking about a hit home run here, I am pleased!, the two Rhodium's are awsome to say the least together for the entire system sound, this turned out way better than I ever expected, Bravo!
Hi Audiolabyrinth.Congratulations!!Nice to hear you found the perfect outlet match for your system..Enjoy it!!Cheers.Raf.
Rafael0054, Hi, I installed the Furutech outlet wall frame and cover plate, I had doubts that these could give improvement, man, talking about a nice improvement, this wall frame and cover plate works great!, A substantial improvement.
