Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

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.

Hi Audiolabyrinth,
Thanks for your conclusions.They are very helpful.I´m glad to hear that in several krell power amps the stock power cord works better than the new ones.It may confirm the idea that some audio components were designed to work with their original power cords ( that´s why they don´t have a iec termination in the chassis).If your next test using rhodium outlet gtx d in the Krell toghether with the same outlet in the cd player will not work, then one possibility could be to use the cheapest model furutech fpx cu, which is made of phosphore bronze then plated with copper.In this way you will have the same base metals in the plug of the krell and the outlet.It could work very well and at the same time you could have the characteristics in performance of Furutech products.This fpx cu outlet is the one I use to feed my Shunyata Hydra 4 power conditionner were I plug all my components of my system with great result.Hope this helps.Cheers!Raf
