Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

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.

Thankyou TBG, I might not do anything to the power cord, BTW, do not ever use a furutech GTX-D Rhodium mixed with Furutech GTX-D Gold, it does not work, as a matter of fact, they work against each other, worst sounding experiment to date ever on my system, needless to say Norm, I have another Rhodium coming, and If that does not prevail on the krell with the other Rhodium on the tube/solid state hybred digital player like my $6.00 copper/bronze outlet that is on the krell and sounds wonderful with the Rhodium on the digital, then I will conterplate on selling the Rhodium to some fortunate audiophile,I remember years ago, I tried numerous power cords on a different krell amp, that did not work, the stock power cord for some odd reason was better period, that was in the late 90's, cheers Norm.
