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

Hi Rafael0054, Thankyou, that was some helpful information, I will do exactly as you have said if the other Rhodium does not work good with a Rhodium on the krell, you know, these older krell amps are finiky to any change attempts, very odd!, I will absolutley keep the Furutech FPX cu outlet in mind, may be a while, I am not sending the Gold back untill saturday morning, then because it is christmas, it may be 4 or 5 day's till I get the Rhodium, this time, I am sticking it on the refrigerator for 300 hrs before I use it, I know now exactly all the break-in changes of sound for the Gold and Rhodium, ha, I do not want to listen to that again, LOL!
Rafael0054, you asked of some impression's between the Furutech GTX-D Rhodium and Gold?, The biggest mistake most make of the Rhodium is they think that the mid-range is reccessed with-in the sound stage, the fact is, that depends on your cables, I have cables that are world renowned to have one of the best sound stages possible, that includes a front to back very deep sound stage that is rare for any cable to do, that said, The Rhodium outlet keeps that intact, it is more forward with the mids than the Gold, but also has an incredible depth to the Rhodium that the Gold does not do at all!, a test that can be done is, walk up to your speakers, walk all the way to the wall behind your speakers, if you can hear the music close to what it is like in front of your speakers, you have good depth, the Gold absolutley did not have any sound what so ever behind the speakers, everything was in front of the speakers, but not forward sounding at all, this Rafael0054 is 2-dimensional sounding versus the 3-dimensional sound of the Rhodium, hope this helps.
Rafael0054, also, I will add, The furutech GTX-D Rhodium also has a bigger stonger middle, more together layered sound where as the Gold version is not as big or tight vivid sound stage, I am into presatation alot as you can read here,hope this was some help as well.
Rafael0054, Do you think there was a possibility that The Rhodium gave the Krell a bass suck out because the Rhodium used never had 200 watts and more on it?, like maybe it was not burned in to the power of my amp that is nearly 500 watts just on idle?, mmmm?
Hi Audiolabyrinth.Very interesting your experience with both outlets.Very well described.I'll make that test walking behind the speakers when I'll test these outlets.Regarding your last question about the rhodium outlet and the watts it was submited to, I think that you should use it several hours in the krell in order to burn in it before making a final conclusion.Or at least burn the outlet in some device that consumes many watts if you don't want to suffer the breaking period. These Furutech products requiry audiophile's patience but in the end the wating worthwhile.CheersRaf
