Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

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

I've never read such a load of claptrap in my life. The Oxford dictionary must have a linko this thread next to the word "misinformed", lol!

Rafael0054, I talked to Krell yesterday, as it turns out, the stock power cord that is 10awg 3/1 9ft is a common power cord, but patrick bresnahan also said that the hard wireing part of this power cable is unlike any other manufactuor's, most use a bus bar then go from there, Not krell, this power cord is wired directly to the power supplies and power regulator's, that's really good, however, Patrick also said that the plug on the end of the cable is also common, that I would really benefit by changeing the plug at the end of the power cable, a big up-grade in sound he said would happen, The Furutech FI-50M comes to mind, oh no!, I might agonize again between Rhodium and Gold?, pricy!, $300.00 for that plug, It's on my pallet to do list for sure, nothing but the best for MR Krell.

There is a reason why Boulder, Gryphon, Vitus, Vac & Kondo don't hard-wire their flagship amps, but shhhh, don't tell Audiolabyrinth ;)

Hi Audiolabyrinth,I think that if upgrading a male connector of the original power cord will ptoduce a benefit, then do it.However I'm not sure which male connector will fit better with outlet receptacle(I mean compatibility between them)I would define first the outlet that works better whith the Krell and after I would choose a male connector with the same base metal conductors in their pins.Ex.If you choose gtx d rhodium outlet which is made of pure copper then plated with rhodium, then I would choose a connector with pure copper as base metal and plated with rhodium as well.Cheers.Raf
