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

Rja,

I agree. A lot of gold plating comes off easily like with Neutrik plugs and jacks. Not so with Oyaide -- if you like the 079 series, which I do not. In fact, after extensive experience with Oyaide products I much prefer Furutech products -- in my system.

I agree with you. Experimentation is the key. No one can tell you what to do with your system. Only you know what works and what does not work in your system. It's all system dependent. Others may make suggestions. But the proof of the pudding will always be in the eating. And you're the one sitting at the table.
Rafael: I have tried the Furutech RH and AU plugs and agree with your consensus. You must also match the plug to the outlet. I also did not find any wear issues with either plug
I'm not aware of any Furutech AC products in silver.

You could try IeGO brand from: acoustic-fun.com
They sell solid silver and silver plated
AC outlets and connectors.
I have ordered from them, their products seem to be of
good quality and they are reliable.
I believe they are in Taiwan.

BTW: Gold plating has worn off the prongs of one my Furutech AC terminations.
