Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

Audiolabyrinth, in your long discussions with Chris, did you mention you were using your tube cd player as linestage? That effectively means you're running a tube preamp and changes the equation. Btw, Chris's advice that the gold version is recommended for ss and tube cd players is echoe'd by other sellers such as The Tweek Geek. I'm having a hard time believing the Furutech GTX-D(R)removes "litterally veils up-on veils were taken out of the sound" compared to the GTX-D(G). Something else must be going on there since the base metal (pure copper) dominates the sound of the GTX-D. As Chris remarked, the slight lean towards warmth vs resolution in the gold vs rhodium (respectively) is more related to a slight 'shade' vs night/day difference. In the end, you're running a valve preamp so I am not surprised you preferred the rhodium version.

I have to wait until my Vitus SCD-025 arrives in a couple of months before I can see how the GTX-D(G) sounds in my system, then I will have to wait for atleast 250hrs for my new player and Jorma Statement cables to play in. But I suspect the combination of the Oyaide platinum & palladium-plated P-004 connectors, Jorma (copper) cables and Vitus amp and front end will have good synergy. (And I have to remember that only one pc will be connected to the GTX-D. All my other pc's will be plugged into my Gigawatt PC-3 SE Evo conditioner which uses in-house designed cryo'd and demaged silver-plated brass wpo's). If I feel i've got a good balance between neutrality, transparency, speed, warmth, naturalness & harmonic richness with the P-0004/GTX-D(G) combo, I will likely re-terminate all my Prime pc's with Oyaide M1/F1 hardware later in the year.

Right Bo, on a good day Dutch are like a sour German with a bad toothache.
Nice Dutch speakers are the Flemish.

@Tbg, is your name Norm Luttbeg and did you write this article? http://www.stereotimes.com/post/high-fidelity-cables-ct1-ultimate-series/ If so, you should disclose your commercial association when commenting on HFC cables.

Melbguy1, I sought to do just that but Audiogan has no such provision. I am certainly not commercial.

But it suggests your desperation to denigrate the High Fidelity cables that you would dig it up. I make no effort to deny my reviewing. Do you hide some of your association?

Tbg, I did not mean to imply you are a commercial member, only that you have some association to HFC by way of your position as a professional reviewer and owner of their cables. It is disappointing you felt the need to descend into this response -

I in fact stumbled across your review by chance. I did not as you wildly assumed troll the internet to "dig up" dirt on you. And no, I have no association to disclose of any nature.
