Gold or Rhodium

Have you compared the Furtech wall outlets? I am setting up a new dedicated room and need five wall receptacles; one for front-end sources, one for each monoblock, and two for subs. Each outlet will be on it's own dedicated line. Will use the GTX-D series. Question is should I go with the gold or rhodium plated or use a mix of the two? I've read that the gold offer a slightly 'warmer' sound but gold is soft and can be easily melted off if any sparking ocurrs.

"Note however, there is NOT a drastic difference between these, despite the plating difference & urban myths doing the rounds on this forum. "

What urban myths are you talking about? Just curious, I've never heard them.

rhodium is much tougher than gold but I would have thought that gold would sound better but we are talking about wall outlets :)

I guess I could, but what would I be looking for? Its not like they are going to list comments as urban myths.
