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

Audiolabyrinth, please tell me what wpos are.

I guess I could put two systems together but I only have one real listening room. I know many with two if not three listening rooms.

Hi TPG, wpo means, wall power outlet's, you do have alot of equipment, you seem to love music as I do considering your investment, you must have system there in New Mexico?, if not, from what I read, you certainly could have a system there permently, cheers.

Audiolabyrinth, presently in NM I have the LSA speakers, stands for them and a H-Cat preamp and amp. I also have Zilplexes which have made the tiny 10 x 13 x 8' room usable. The rest of my system when I'm there has to be shipped or transported from Texas and then back. I really can only do x versus y reviews there.

TBG, very impresive, I was also saying, you should list that you have 10 furutech GTX-D R's wpo's in your system equipment compilation you have, which is also impresive, this show's you are convinced enough that the furutech GTX-D R was better to your listening tast that you bought many of them, cheers

Audiolabyrinth, at CES I talked with Furutech about why they did not have beryllium copper GTX-Ds. The answer was conductivity. I asked whether solid copper with gold or rhodium plating was better. He said yes, if it was thin plating. My present wall plug is an R0 which is solid beryllium copper. I am awaiting another GTX-Dr for it.
