Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

Michaelzay, yes, I have considered a power cord for the krell 700cx, krell says they cannot put an IEC on the back panel, it would consist of machine work, so I have an Idea, leave about a foot of the stock hard wired power cord coming out of the amp, and terminate with furutech to a power cord of my choice, and since the Tara labs Cobalt with oyaide termination's is nothing short of revolutionary on my digital running direct to amplifier that Is a $5,450.00 power cord, I was considering getting the new top model Tara labs Grandmaster Evolution with oyaide terminations that is a whoping $12,000.00 6ft power cord for the krell, this would take up to a year or so to do, considering the cost of the entire set-up, that is the only way to do this, is some kind of fancy termination modds from one power cord to the other.

Hi Audiolabyrinth.
Are you sure you want to cut the original power cable of the Krell amp?Why don´t you try desoldering it an solder instead an excellent quality cable with a furutech iec termination, and there you plug your power cable?In doing so ,if it doesn´t have the result you are waiting for, then you can resold the original power cable of the Krell without altering their originality.It´s only an idea.Because I´m afraid that the krell fpb 700cx was designed and calculated to work with its original power cable.It´s a thought I have( may be I´am wrong)For instance I use my ARC D 200amp and my ARC Ls2Bmk2 preamp with their original power cords.I only use reterminated cable in my Krell kav 300 cd ,which has a iec termination in the chassis.Cheers.Raf

Audiolabyrinth, I did what you suggest on an amp. with heatsinks on the back and a hardwired ac cord. One can buy male IEC connector that go on cables. I bought one and left about three inches on the existing pc and attached the IEC male. I then just plugged a better pc with an IEC female into it and on to the wall.

I am not sure that Furutech make such a piece, however. I should also note that I did sell the amp later and felt I needed to include the ac cord.

very,very, bad news Michaelzay and Rafael0054, running the Furutech GTX-D Rhodium and Gold version's together was fxxxxxx awefull!, run them 4 hours to no prevail!, no open sound,cancelled each other out bad!, that was the worst experiment to date for my system ever!, answered my own question, does anyone run the Gold with the Rhodium?, no wonder I did not get any answers!, they do not work together at all!, as a matter of fact, I am getting another Rhodium for the Krell anyway, I believe the bass will come thru, and if it does not, I likly will sale it,BTW, I put my $6.00 15 amp hospital grade copper alloy made in mexico outlet back on the krell with the Rhodium on the digital, oh yea, the magic is back with bass and slam, and with all the best clarity and attributes of the Rhodium intact, cheers.
