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

Melbguy1 and Bo1972, I said I was going to E-mail Chris venhaus at vh-audio about wall plug's, here is his quick response, quote-

In my experience, the FI-50 is the better connector. Pure copper is much more conductive than Beryllium copper. Don’t get me wrong, the M1/F1 combo is very nice, but for natural presentation and superb micro/macro dynamics, I prefer the FI-50. In fact, I’d take the FI-28 IEC over the F1. That said, I can see where the M1/F1 might be very synergistic for some people’s systems, and as is the case with many parts/components in this hobby- everyone’s opinion can be different, and also be correct ;-)



I just think the FI-50 offers a bit better value, as well.



Best regards,
