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

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.

Rhodium often have more authority. I have the Furutech FI-50's as well. But the Oyaide F1 is superior to them. Better dynamics and also more details.
More to discover
